HC Deb 18 July 1961 vol 644 cc111-2W
45. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Works why he will not permit the parking of cars on the Horse Guards Parade.

Lord John Hope

I am unwilling to allow general parking over the whole of the Horse Guards Parade because this would spoil the appearance of this very attractive area and would make the surface of the centre of the Parade unsuitable for ceremonial use.
