asked the hon. Member for the Pollok Division of Glasgow, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, if he can give a date when the temporary buildings in St. James's Park will be demolished and the lake will be refilled?

The demolition of the buildings is practically complete, and experiments are being made to test the condition of the bed of the lake with a view to filling a portion of it as early as possible.

How long are these experiments likely to take? There has been ample opportunity now for several years.
