HC Deb 08 November 1920 vol 134 cc862-3W
Sir H. CRAIK

asked the First Commissioner of Works why the huts at present encumbering the Victoria Tower gardens are not removed and the gardens restored to their proper use for the advantage of the public, seeing that a long range of huts on the other side of the road, recently in Government occupation, are now advertised as to be let?

Sir A. MOND

The huts in the Victoria Tower Gardens are at present fully occupied by the staff of the Ministry of Pensions, but it is hoped that they will be vacated within the next few months. The huts on the opposite side of the road have never been in Government occupation, and can only be secured on lease at too high a rental to warrant their acquisition.
