§ 75. M. Parkerasked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that there is now a considerable tourist traffic on the Regent's Canal; and whether he will arrange during the coming winter for the undergrowth along the canal to be thinned out to secure better views of and from the water both in Regent's Park and the Zoo.
§ M. MolsonI am aware of the growing tourist traffic on the Regent's Canal. The undergrowth on its banks is thinned from time to time. As the Canal runs in a cutting some 15 feet deep, no view of the Park from the water, or of the water from the Park, is possible, and I consider that the mature trees at present growing along the banks improve the general appearance of the Canal cutting from the Park.
