§ 65. Mr. R. MORRISONasked the Minister of Transport whether the London Traffic Advisory Committee has given special consideration to the increased traffic congestion at Finsbury Park during the periods of greyhound racing; and whether any action has been taken or is proposed?
§ Colonel ASHLEYClose observation has been kept upon the traffic conditions which have arisen in consequence of the inauguration of greyhound racing at Harringay, and additional tramway facilities have been provided at Finsbury Park to deal with the increased traffic. The Advisory Committee are kept fully informed of the position.
§ Mr. MORRISONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the situation, already difficult, has been made much worse because of the greyhound racing in the district, and cannot he urge the Traffic Advisory Committee to do something more than they have done already?
§ Colonel ASHLEYWe can do nothing. I cannot stop the races. Additional tramway facilities have been afforded.
