HC Deb 17 February 1930 vol 235 cc950-1W
Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he has received any representations regarding the character of certain of the alterations now being carried out in the Royal Parks; and whether he is aware that the alterations now being made, go much further than was originally intended and announced to this House?

Mr. LANSBURY

I have received representations both for and against the schemes which are being put in hand for providing increased facilities for recreation in the Royal Parks. I circulated a list of these schemes in the OFFICIAL REPORT of 4th November last. The only addition since then is the provision of a running track in an outlying piece of ground at Regent's Park. The plan referred to in my answer to the hon. Member for Colchester (Mr. O. Lewis) will show how little a track on the site selected is likely to interfere with the amenities of the park.
