HC Deb 18 March 1912 vol 35 cc1678-9W
Earl WINTERTON

asked if attention has been called to the scheme for providing a park for East London out of the moneys subscribed to the King Edward Memorial Fund; and if this House will have an opportunity for discussing this scheme before any alternative scheme receives the official sanction of the Government?

Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN

The reply to the first paragraph is in the affirmative. The proposal to make a public park at Shadwell does not require any sanction on the part of the Government; it is entirely a question for the committee of the King Edward Memorial Fund and for the subscribers to that fund.
