HC Deb 05 May 1925 vol 183 c740
29 and 30. Mr. ERSKINE

asked the Minister of Transport (1) whether he is aware of the increasing congestion of traffic at the approaches to Victoria Station; and whether he has any effective remedy to apply, in view of the danger to foot passengers and general inconvenience to the public;

(2) whether he can state what remedial measures have been taken or are likely to be taken to deal with the congestion and traffic blocks in the main thoroughfares of London?

Colonel ASHLEY

Remedial measures for the relief of traffic congestion in the neighbourhood of Victoria Station and in certain main thoroughfares in London are under consideration by the London Traffic Advisory Committee; before making any announcement in the matter, I must await their recommendations.

Captain GARRO-JONES

Have the Treasury sanctioned any scheme for underground roads in London?

Colonel ASHLEY

I do not think that that arises out of this particular question.
