HC Deb 08 June 1931 vol 253 c622
72. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in view of the fact that taximeter-cabs are allowed to go through the public parks, he will consider the desirability of permitting motor coaches to do so, particularly for the benefit of visitors to London?

Mr. LANSBURY

The roads in the Royal Parks are not generally suited to carry heavy traffic, but permission is given for motor coaches to use certain roads in Hyde Park, St. James's and the Green Parks, and Holyrood Park.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is it a new departure to allow these particular roads to be used, or have they been used for some time?

Mr. LANSBURY

I am glad to say that they have been used for some time.
