Mr. G. Cooper

asked the Minister of Works how long the work has taken so far, and what further time it is expected to take, for the rebuilding of the six stone gate posts at the Prince of Wales gate entrance to Hyde Park; whether the work is being done by contractors on an open or a fixed price contract; what is the sum involved; and if he will give an assurance that the work is being carried through without waste of public money.

Mr. G. Brown

The work began on 3rd January and will be completed on 12th May. The work is on a fixed price contract in the sum of £1,750, and there is no waste of public money.
