§ 73. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Works how many seats there are in the Victoria Gardens, Westminster, on ground level and facing the blank riverside wall; and whether he will turn round half of them to face the grass and raise the others on stands to look across the river.
§ Lord John HopeThere are at present twelve seats facing the river at ground level in the gardens north of Lambeth Bridge, and seven in the gardens to the south. When alternate seats were turned towards the grass experimentally in 1958, the public appeared not to like this arrangement, since they turned them back again. Four seats facing the river have been raised.
