§ 52. Major BARNETTasked whether the new Government building which is to be erected on the vacant site east of the General Post Office is to be extended southwards across the end of Newgate Street; whether it will have any architectural relation with the existing Post Office building; and whether he will consider the desirability of carrying the new traffic route to the east of the new building, and thus exposing to public view the classical architecture of the Goldsmiths' Hall?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThere is no intention of extending the new building south wards across the end of Newgate Street. The architecture has been designed with due regard to other buildings in the neighbourhood. Any question of new traffic routes is proper to the Corporation of London. I understand that a proposal of the kind suggested has already been considered by them and rejected.
