HC Deb 02 December 1936 vol 318 c1251
43. Mr. KENNEDY

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the strong public feeling against the proposed regulations restricting the use of selected streets in London by horse-drawn and other slow-moving traffic; and whether he can assure the House that the regulations will not become operative in London or elsewhere without the approval of the local authorities concerned?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am not aware of any public feeling except in favour of these proposals, although, of course, as was to be anticipated, the interests more particularly affected have stated their case.

Mr. BENSON

Is the right hon. Gentleman's Department considering the possibility of traffic control on these lines?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Certainly, I am about to make a provisional Order.
