§ Viscount CURZONasked the First Commissioner of Works whether there is any prospect of being gradually able to reinstate the flower beds in Hyde Park in view of the very great source of enjoyment these beds afforded to many people whose only chance it is of ever being able to see flowers; and whether he will give 89W an opportunity to private firms or institutions to contribute to this end as was done last year?
§ Mr. JOWETTThe area in question is not suitable for flowers, which suffer seriously from petrol fumes from the traffic in the immediate neighbourhood. The 106,000 bulbs which were presented to the Park should, however, make an effective display in the spring.
