HC Deb 27 July 1943 vol 391 c1406W
Sir W. Davison

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works whether he is aware that during the time when the clock at Hyde Park Corner was not working a large thorn tree grew up which obscures the face of the clock; and whether immediate steps will be taken to prune the thorn tree so that the restored clock may be visible to the public?

Mr. Hicks

Yes, Sir. I had already given such instructions and the tree has now been pruned.
