HC Deb 03 May 1939 vol 346 c1857
32. Mr. Day

asked the Minister of Transport particulars of the number of regulations made by his Department restricting the use in selected streets in the London area of horse-drawn and other slow-moving traffic; and whether, in the near future, he proposes to issue similar regulations applicable to streets in the West End of London?

Captain Wallace

Two sets of regulations have been made restricting the use of horse-drawn and other slow-moving vehicles, one relating to Oxford Street and short lengths of adjoining side streets, and the other to parts of Regent Street, Haymarket, Bond Street, New Oxford Street and High Holborn. Notice has been given of my intention to make regulations for Blackwall Tunnel. I do not at present propose to extend the regulations to streets in the West End not covered by the existing regulations.

Mr. Day

Are the present regulations working satisfactorily?

Captain Wallace

I should like to see that question on the Paper.
