HC Deb 05 November 1934 vol 293 cc653-4W
Sir C. COBB

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will remove from the Broad Walk in Regent's Park to a less conspicuous place the drinking fountain with a figure of Rebecca on a granite column, change the asphalt cinder promenade into a garden path, redesign the Broad Walk area as a pleasure garden, and use, if possible, such pastoral statuary as he may be able to obtain from the Royal Academy, the public art schools, and from foreign artists?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Lack of funds would alone prevent the carrying out of my hon. Friend's proposal, but I am indebted to him for his suggestion. Such money as is available for changes in Regent's Park, I propose to use for the completion of the programme of improvement in the Inner Circle Gardens.
