asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware that there is a shortage of public conveniences in Regent's Park; and whether he will obtain from the Bedford College authorities the surrender of a portion of their land, of which the Crown is the owner, in order to provide what is necessary close to the bridge on the Bedford College side of the lake?

A new additional convenience in the Inner Circle Gardens, not far from the area referred to by the hon. Member, will be ready in the summer. The number of conveniences in Regent's Park will then, I am advised, be reasonably adequate, but I am now considering whether any further accommodation is required in the playing fields area in the Northern part of the Park.
