§ MR. J. R. YORKEasked the honourable and gallant Member for Truro, If he has taken any steps to acquire from Her Majesty's Government the ground necessary for the widening of the Knightsbridge Road, in accordance with the promise given last year; and, how soon the work will be commenced?
SIR JAMES HOGGIn answer to the Question of my hon. Friend, I beg to inform him that the Metropolitan Board 1972 of Works has agreed with the War Office, subject to an Act of Parliament, to pay £5,000 for a strip of ground for widening Knightsbridge Road, and to undertake the work of making up the roadway. I believe that the Bill is in course of preparation, and as soon as an intimation is received from the War Office that the ground can be given up, the Board will be prepared to perform their part of the agreement.
