HC Deb 08 January 1913 vol 46 c1189
54. Mr. ALLEN BAKER

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether, in connection with the conversion of the London Institution into a School of Oriental Languages, he will consider the possibility of making a new road from Finsbury Circus to South Place; and whether the construction of such a road would afford a suitable site for the School of Oriental Languages and at the same time, by appreciating the value of the property, help to meet the necessary charges?

Mr. W. BENN

Perhaps my hon. Friend will lay his suggestion before the City Corporation. The construction bf a new road in the city would not be a matter for the First Commissioner to carry out.
