HC Deb 16 March 1926 vol 193 c232
37. Sir FRANK MEYER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is prepared to recommend that, with a view to diminishing traffic congestion, all horse-drawn vehicles shall he permitted to make use of the roads through Hyde Park, the Green Park, and St. James's Park?

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

I do not consider that all horse-drawn vehicles should he permitted to use the roads through Hyde Park, the Green Park, and St. James's Park, if such a course can he avoided. The necessity, in my opinion, has not yet arisen.

Sir F. MEYER

Does the hon. and gallant Gentleman think horse-drawn vehicles will detract more from the amenities of the parks than the taxicabs?

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

I do not profess to he an æsthetic expert on traffic.

Captain GARRO-JONES

Are there now any restrictions whatever on horse-drawn traffic throughout. London?

Lieut. Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

None at present.
