§ 65. Captain Pluggeasked the Minister of Supply whether he will consider approaching the different ground landlords in London to ascertain whether they are willing to sacrifice a quantity of unneeded railings in the West End of London which cannot be taken away without such consent?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply (Mr. Harold Macmillan)As my hon. Friend will appreciate, ground landlords may be only one of the interests to be consulted in regard to the release of any particular railings. Many large landlords have already voluntarily offered, as ground landlords, to give up their railings, and in cases of complicated ownership, where other interests have agreed, the ground landlords are being approached.
§ Sir S. ReedCould not the hon. Member consider making use of those modern abominations, the Belisha beacons?
