§ 31. Mr. BARNESasked the Minister of Transport whether he proposes to introduce legislation for the purpose of removing the hay carts at Aldgate which are responsible for part of the congestion of traffic at this spot?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThis matter is still under consideration by the London Traffic Advisory Committee. Investigations and negotiations are still proceeding with a view to ascertaining the cost of various suggested road improvements, including the abolition of the hay market in this neighbourhood. Until I receive and have had an opportunity of considering the Committee's Report, I am unable to state whether legislation will be introduced for the purpose of removing the hay market and other obstructions to traffic in Aid-gate.
