Replete with winding paths, extensive plant collections, droves of mature trees, and charming edifices, the gardens are home to some extremely well-designed Glass Pavilions which harbor temperate vegetation. The plants residing at the gardens boast a long- standing heritage, hence not just displaying unabashed beauty, but also a treasured legacy. There are also excellent views of the gardens from the Curator's House Tea Rooms and Restaurant at the Clarkehouse Road entrance. The rolling lawns that carpet it, carry the gardens' secrets, such as the Pan statue in the rose garden and the Bear Pit. Home to a scenic boardwalk, a Victorian rose garden and a rare fossil, these beautifully landscaped gardens, designated by English Heritage as being of major architectural and historical interest, are a secluded sanctum of heavenly flora combined with moments of peace. +44 114 268 6001 www.sbg.org.uk/ Clarkehouse Road, Sheffield St. Michael and All Angels Church "12th century Historical Church" St. Michael's was built in 1381, but it is believed that its site has been used for worship since the 7th Century. The church has some unusual history: Charlotte Brontë stayed in the vicarage in 1845 and part of her novel, Jane Eyre, is set here. She also took Jane's surname from a brass memorial to the local Eyre family, which is still displayed at the back of the church. The by artyangel legendary Little John was also said to live locally and his grave is marked in the churchyard. +44 1332 38 8650 (Tourist www.derby.anglican.org/?

Friend the Member for North Ayrshire and House of Commons Arran (Ms Clark). In a letter I received from Ofcom, the regulator states: Wednesday 25 November 2009 “Ofcom does not have the power to mandate ISPs”— internet service providers. Surely that power is overdue, because otherwise, many of my constituents, along with The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock those of my colleagues, will continue to receive a poor broadband service. PRAYERS Mr. Murphy: My hon. Friend makes some very important points about the decision-making powers and architecture [MR.SPEAKER in the Chair] that will ensure we achieve 90 per cent. broadband penetration. We are trying to ensure that the market provides most of that, and we expect that up to two thirds—60 to 70 per cent.—of homes will be able to Oral Answers to Questions access super-fast broadband through the market. However, the Government will have to do additional things, and my hon. Friend can make the case for giving Ofcom SCOTLAND additional powers; but, again, we are absolutely determined that no one be excluded for reasons of geography or income.
