HC Deb 29 March 1920 vol 127 cc857-8
51. Mr. CLEMENT EDWARDS

asked the Prime Minister if, having regard to the grave urgency of the Metropolitan traffic problem, he will give an early day after Easter for the discussion of the Report of the Advisory Committee on London Traffic?

52. Lieut.-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

asked whether, in view of the extreme importance of improving the rapid transit facilities of London, which includes within its area about one-sixth of the population of the United Kingdom, he will give at least half a day of Parliamentary time for the purpose of discussing the Report of the London Traffic Committee at an early date after Easter?

53. Mr. BLAIR

asked the Prime Minister if he will arrange to give a day, as soon after Easter as possible, to discuss the Report of the London Traffic Committee?

The PRIME MINISTER

My noble Friend the Patronage Secretary is considering whether this subject could be arranged for discussion on a Supply day.

Mr. PEMBERTON BILLING

In view of the threat which has been made to hold up the railway traffic during the Easter holidays, will the right hon. Gentleman say what steps the Government have taken to deal with it?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot answer that question.
