HC Deb 03 July 1883 vol 281 c181
MR. ROLLS

asked the First Commissioner of Works, If, in consideration of the great inconvenience caused by the block of traffic at the corner of Hamilton Place, arrangements could be made by utilizing Park Lane, at present almost unused, for the traffic going Southward, leaving Hamilton Place free for traffic going Northward?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

In reply to the hon. Member, I have to say that the Office which I represent has no jurisdiction whatever over the streets, and that I am quite unable to carry out what the hon. Member recommends. I also understand that the police, since 1870, have had no power of regulating the traffic in the streets so as to enforce any such regulation.
