HC Deb 05 March 1919 vol 113 cc449-50W
Mr. HASLAM

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether additional wooden huts are now in course of erection in Regent's Park on the east of the Broad Walk; to what purposes these huts are to be put; and when this portion of the park to which the public formerly had access will again be available for public recreation?

Sir A. MOND

Huts are now in course of erection on the east of the Broad Walk in Regent's Park to provide accommodation for the Ministry of Pensions. It is difficult at the present time to give any date when this portion of the park will again be available for public recreation, as this depends to a large extent on when permanent accommodation can be found for the Ministry. A scheme to provide such accommodation is at present under consideration. I am very anxious to return this and all other occupied portions of the Royal parks for the public use as soon as circumstances will allow.
