§ 4. Mr. Hydeasked the Minister of Works if he will improve the arrangements by which the public at present enter and leave the enclosure surrounding Stonehenge.
§ Mr. H. NichollsMy right hon. Friend will certainly look into this. It would help if he could be given some details of what my hon. Friend has in mind.
§ Mr. HydeIs my hon. Friend aware that at present there is only one small swing gate through which the public can enter and leave the enclosure one at a time, and that on busy days there is frequently a long queue on either side of the gate of those wanting to get in and those wanting to get out? Will he 984 take steps to obviate this inconvenient arrangement by at least making a separate exit, possibly of the turnstile variety?
§ Mr. NichollsAt the present moment my right hon. Friend is giving a good deal of thought to improving the presentation of ancient monuments generally, and we will take into account what my hon. Friend has said. It is interesting that the gate to which he refers is known as a kissing gate, and I know that my hon. Friend is not anti-kissing.
