§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why, when, to where and for what price the gates from Albert gate, Hyde park, were disposed of by his Department; and what plans he has to replace them.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneThe gates were removed in 1956 as a result of a road widening scheme. My Department's records over a period of almost 30 years contain conflicting evidence, but it is clear that by 1965 the gates were no longer in existence and the broken scraps would appear to have been disposed of. Plans for replacement gates are being drawn up.
