HC Deb 22 March 1951 vol 485 c317W
51. Sir G. Harvie-Watt

asked the Minister of Agriculture why the fee for admission to the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, is to be raised to 3d. on 1st April.

Mr. G. Brown

The admission fee to the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, was raised from 1d. to 3d. because of the increased cost of running the Gardens in recent years and the general need to reduce Government expenditure.
