HC Deb 29 April 1936 vol 311 c900
37. Captain Sir IAN FRASER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the petition signed by 240 residents on the Holly Lodge Estate, in the Borough of St. Pancras, showing that in their opinion the proposal of the London Passenger Transport Board to make a turning circle for trolley omnibuses at the junction of Swain's Lane, West and Highgate Road is contrary to the public interest and dangerous to life; and whether he can give assurances that before such a turning circle is permitted to be made the views of local residents will be taken into account and full inquiry undertaken?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

If Parliament authorises this route and the board apply for my approval of the turning circle, I will certainly consider any representations that may then be made to me.

Sir I. FRASER

Will the Ministry in the ordinary course take steps to advertise the time when such a matter comes under consideration, so that all interested may know?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

No doubt my hon. and gallant Friend realises that this matter is referred to in the Bill of the London Passenger Transport Board before Parliament, and therefore I think that full publicity will be given to it.
