HC Deb 28 July 1960 vol 627 c203W
119. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware of the long queues which collect on Sundays in summer before the opening of the Tower of London at 2 p.m.; and whether he will meet the public demand by opening it between May and October at 12 noon.

Lord John Hope

There is no reason to suppose that earlier opening would abolish the queues. In addition there are practical difficulties about opening before 2 p.m.

120. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Works whether he will arrange for the Tower of London to be open on Sunday afternoons throughout the winter, in view of the public demand.

Lord John Hope

There are practical difficulties about Sunday opening in winter, and there is no evidence of public demand.
