HC Deb 30 July 1903 vol 126 cc896-7
MR. LAWRENCE (Liverpool, Abercromby)

To ask the hon. Member for West Derbyshire, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that in the proposed Victoria Memorial there are planned five turns or corners within a very short space for all vehicular traffic to pass; and whether having regard to the present traffic and that in future to come direct from Charing Cross, it is in contemplation to open to the public the main avenue of the Mall.

(Answered by Mr. Viet or Cavendish.) The First Commissioner is aware that the road as now being temporarily laid out necessitates more turns than is desirable. It is in contemplation, when the extension of the Mall to Charing Cross is completed, to open the main avenue to the public, when the greater width of the road will provide for such increase of traffic as may be expected.
