HORSE-DRAWN TRAFFIC, CENTRAL LONDON.

HC Deb 16 June 1937 vol 325 c364

55. Mr. Pilkington

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has come to any decision regarding the prohibition of all horse-drawn traffic from Central London?

Mr. Burgin

No, Sir; before arriving at any further decision I propose to await experience of the working of the regulations recently made with regard to certain streets.

Mr. Pilkington

Is the Minister aware that wherever there are horse-drawn vehicles in the streets of London there is almost always congestion?

Mr. Burgin

I think that is much too sweeping a statement.
