HC Deb 07 November 1882 vol 274 c949
MR. W. H. SMITH

asked the First Commissioner of Works, If it is his intention to make any proposals to Parliament for the improvement of the approaches to the New Law Courts, and especially to provide for the removal of the block to the thoroughfare in the Strand caused by Holywell Street?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

It is not the intention of the Government to make any proposal on this subject, as it is their opinion that it would more properly fall to the duty of the Metropolitan Board of Works. I have, however, communicated with that Board, and I believe they are now considering a scheme for widening the streets and improving the approaches to the Royal Courts of Justice.
