HC Deb 10 June 1936 vol 313 cc198-9
21. Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the congestion of traffic in the district of the Elephant and Castle and the difficulties experienced by persons residing at or near this junction in obtaining a conveyance to proceed to or from their employment during the rush hours of the day, he will make representations to the London Passenger Transport Board to continue the present tube system from the Elephant and Castle to Camberwell?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

The London Passenger Transport Board inform me that on completion of the works at present in hand they will consider further the question of extending the Bakerloo Line to Camberwell.

Mr. DAY

Will the right hon. Gentleman receive a deputation from the local council?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

It would hardly be appropriate for me to receive it.
