HC Deb 27 July 1950 vol 478 c143W
157. Sir H. Williams

asked the Minister of Works the cause of the delay in making on 14th June, 1950, the Kensington Gardens Regulations, which were laid on draft on 13th December, 1949, and the cause of the further delay whereby they were not laid before Parliament till 17th July, 1950.

Mr. Stokes

The statutory period, which the revised Regulations had to be in draft before Parliament, expired on 21st April, 1950. It was decided that the Regulations should come into effect on 1st August and that publication in the middle of July would give ample notice to all concerned.
