HC Deb 18 December 1936 vol 318 c2799
12. Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can make any further statement with reference to inquiries he has recently made from the users of horse-drawn vehicles in the important streets of London respecting the time it would take to substitute mechanical transport and whether it would be practicable; and what decision, if any, he has arrived at regarding the elimination of horse-drawn traffic during certain hours in the London area?

Sir A. LAMBERT WARD

I have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend has given formal notice of regulations restricting the use of selected streets in Central London by horse-drawn and other slow-moving traffic, but he has not yet completed his examination of certain representations received.

Mr. DAY

Can the hon. and gallant Member say when the regulations of which he has given notice will be published?

Sir A. LAMBERT WARD

I will ask my right hon. Friend to communicate with the hon. Member.
