HC Deb 18 March 1968 vol 761 cc44-5W
Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what improvements he is planning to the Cake House in St. James's Park and in seating arrangements immediately adjoining.

Mr. Mellish

A new Cake House is being planned on the site of the existing building, to be ready by the summer of 1969, and incorporate both indoor and outdoor seating accommodation.

Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what steps he proposes to take to improve the conditions under which pedestrians in St. James's Park can cross the roads through this park.

Mr. Mellish

The police or park-keepers already give assistance at peak times at the main crossing points used by pedestrians, and I keep in touch with the police and traffic authorities as to the need for any further measures.
