§ LORD STRABOLGIMy Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question which stands in my name on the Order Paper.
§ The Question was as follows:
§ To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will confirm that it is not proposed to construct a car park under neath St. James's Park.
§ LORD MOWBRAY AND STOURTONMy Lords, I can assure the noble Lord that no such proposal is under consideration.
§ LORD STRABOLGIMy Lords, I thank the noble Lord for that most reassuring reply.
§ LORD HURCOMBMy Lords, may I ask the noble Lord whether he can give the same satisfactory assurance about the proposal to construct a car park under Kensington Gardens?
§ LORD MOWBRAY AND STOURTONMy Lords, yes, I certainly can. I think that one of my right honourable friends has been before me in that task. An assurance was given last year.
