asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will consider increasing the space allotted to bathers on the Serpentine, as at present it is constantly overcrowded?

Major DAVIES:

My right hon. Friend doubts whether it is correct to say that there is constant overcrowding of the space alotted to bathers in the Serpentine. Apart from special heat wave periods, the accommodation is ample, and my right hon. Friend cannot see his way to increase it.
