§ 51. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Minister of Transport when it is proposed to conclude the experiment with reference to foot passengers' refuges and crossing-places at Piccadilly Circus?
§ Colonel ASHLEYNo such experiments are at present being carried out. When, however, the works in connection with the Piccadilly Tube Station are completed, experiments will be made with a view to selecting the most satisfactory sites for refuges and crossing-places, both from the point of view of vehicular and of pedestrian traffic.
§ Mr. CRAWFURDAre certain inquiries not being made as to the extent of the refuges in Piccadilly Circus and also the shape in which they are built, which to some extent does impede traffic going round?
§ Colonel ASHLEYYes, of course the shape and situation of the refuges will be taken into consideration when the experiments are made.
