NEW PALACE YARD

HC Deb 28 February 1977 vol 927 c7W

37. Mr. Lipton

asked the Lord President of the Council when the fountain in New Palace Yard will function; and what has been the cause of the delay.

Mr. Foot

The fountain in New Palace Yard is now functioning. The water supply authority's restriction on the use of water, together with a number of technical problems, put the fountain out of action for some time. Repairs have now been carried out, and the passing of the drought has made it possible to restart the fountain.
