HC Deb 12 May 1925 vol 183 cc1662-3
36. Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

asked the Minister of Transport whether any progress is being made with regard to the proposal of a subway beneath Berkeley Street into the Green Park; and, if so, when it is expected that a decision will be reached?

Colonel ASHLEY

The proposal for the construction of a subway under Piccadilly so as to link up Berkeley Square and the Mall is still under consideration by the London Traffic Advisory Committee.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

When is it probable that a decision will be reached?

Colonel ASHLEY

I could not say.

Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKE

Is the right hon. Gentleman quite satisfied that when Berkeley Street is widened it will be quite sufficient for the traffic passing that way?

Colonel ASHLEY:

That is one of the aspects of the case now being considered by this Committee
