§ Major BARNETTasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether the old elms in the south-east corner of the Regent's Park are being lopped and pollarded in the supposed interest of the flowers; and, if so, whether he will consider the desirability of moving the flower beds elsewhere and leaving the trees unmutilated?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONThe old elms referred to have been lopped solely with a view to the safety of the public visiting Regent's Park.
