HC Deb 19 May 1975 vol 892 cc235-6W
40. Mr. Lipton

asked the Lord President of the Council what further work is still required to end operations in New Palace Yard; and when it will be completed.

Mr. Edward Short

The planting of the garden is well under way and a start will shortly be made on the second phase of the landscaping. This will include paving of the roadway, kerb and footpath, the provision of seats and restored gas lighting, a pool to mark the site of the fountain and a new Members' entrance porch. I now understand that work is expected to be completed early in 1976.
