§ 34. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the representations from Oxford Street shop keepers and London taximeter-cab drivers or associations with reference to the re cent restrictions placed upon taximeter-cabs turning or stopping in Oxford Street; and can he state what has been his answer?
§ Mr. PARKINSONMy right hon. Friend has carefully considered all the representations which have been received regarding the proposed restrictions on vehicles turning or stopping in Oxford Street, and in order to give the proposed experiment with traffic control signals every chance of success, he has decided that the regulations must be made in the form of which notice has been given. He proposes, however, to review the whole position after the signalling system has been in operation for two or three months.
§ Mr. DAYCan the hon. Gentleman say when the system will come into operation with regard to taxi-cabs?
§ Mr. PARKINSONI shall require notice of that question.
