HC Deb 20 January 1913 vol 47 c14
21. Mr. KELLAWAY

asked if the right hon. Gentleman has decided to hold an inquiry into the danger to St. Paul's Cathedral from motor omnibus traffic; by whom such inquiry is to be held; and whether the results of the inquiry will be laid before the House?

Mr. McKENNA

I am consulting the National Physical Laboratory as to the possibility of their undertaking a series of tests with the object of estimating the amount of vibration caused by motor and other traffic at different periods of the day in the streets adjoining the cathedral, and the effect, if any, on the fabric. I am unable to make any further statement at present.
