HC Deb 27 July 1927 vol 209 cc1225-6
36. Sir FREDRIC WISE

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has now received the Report from the London Traffic Advisory Committee for dealing with the problem of travelling facilities in North and East London; and what action he proposes to take?

Colonel ASHLEY

I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Hornsey (Captain Wallace) in answer to a similar question on Thursday, 21st instant, a copy of which I am sending my hon. Friend.

Sir F. WISE

Will the Report be available for Members of Parliament?

Colonel ASHLEY

I have not, yet received the Report, but I hope that I shall very shortly. As to its publication, that will have to be considered when I have received it.

Sir F. WISE

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise the enormous number of people who are interested in this Report, after the three important inquiries that have been made in regard to this situation?

Colonel ASHLEY

Yes, I am aware of that.

Mr. R. MORRISON

In view of the fact that this Report represents two years' work on the part of this Committee, does the right hon. Gentleman not think it is of sufficient importance to have it published, irrespective of his own opinions as to the value of the Report?

Colonel ASHLEY

I shall have to consider that.
