HC Deb 28 June 1944 vol 401 cc725-6W
Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works whether he will terminate at the next opportunity the contract for the supply of chairs in the Royal parks and take over the responsibility for supplying, without charge, an adequate number of suitable chairs as part of the appropriate amenities of the parks.

Mr. Hicks

The next opportunity for terminating the contract according to its terms would be on 31st March, 1948. As stated in my answer to the hon. Member for the Eye Division (Mr. Granville), free seats sufficient for about 6,000 people are provided by my Department in the Central London Parks.
