§ MR. SOAMES (Norfolk, S.)To ask the hon. Member for the Chorley Division, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, if he can state when the new-road from Charing Cross to the Mall is to be opened for traffic.
(Answered by Lord Balcarres.) This work cannot be carried out until funds are provided, and the Metropolitan Improvements (Funds) Bill now awaiting Second Reading has been introduced for that purpose.
