HC Deb 26 February 1919 vol 112 c1816W
Sir PHILIP PILDITCH

asked the First Commissioner of Works if it is the intention to restore the flower beds at Hampton. Court Palace Gardens which have been turfed over during the War?

Sir A. MOND

It is not desirable to restore the flower beds which were under the yew trees, and which have been turfed over during the War. These beds have always proved to be horticulturally unsatisfactory. It is intended to widen considerably the long herb aceous border, and so increase very much the area under flowers.
