HC Deb 12 June 1884 vol 289 c91
SIR ROBERT PEEL

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he has in contemplation to carry into execution the long postponed Metropolitan improvement of opening a roadway from Waterloo Place into the Park, thereby greatly to relieve the traffic which now encumbers Pall Mall East, and to afford facilities so much required by Members of Parliament and others whose business takes them to Westminster, particularly during the Parliamentary Session?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

I have no proposal to make to the House on this subject. The gradients would not, I believe, permit of such an access being-made without the removal of the column and statue of the Duke of York; and, even then, the road would be inconveniently lowered with reference to the level of the road of Carlton Terrace.
