§ 60. Mr. O. NICHOLSONasked the Minister of Transport whether he will secure a re-examination of the proposal to construct a deep-level tube railway for fast traffic between Hammersmith or Earl's Court and the City, thereby relieving rush-hour congestion and providing employment?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI understand that, in the opinion of the railway companies concerned, with which I am disposed to agree, there are other improvements of London tube railways which are likely to be needed before any such scheme as that to which the hon. Member refers. I would remind him that some of the improvements at Hammersmith for which power is sought in the London Electric Railway Company's Bill of this Session should, if carried out, have the effect of relieving the pressure on the Metropolitan District Railway.
