§ Mr. Jesselasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what work is currently in progress at the Diana Fountain in Bushey Park, and at what cost; on what date the scaffolding was erected, and when it will be removed; and what is the reason for the delay.
§ Mr. OakesIn the course of normal maintenance work on the Diana Fountain it was found that the statute above it needed fairly extensive restoration. This is a valuable statue dating from about 1640, and expert advice was therefore sought. The work is now proceeding under the supervision of a metallurgist from the Victoria and Albert Museum. It is expected to cost about £1,000. The scaffolding was erected in March and it is hoped the work will be completed by the autumn.
