§ 31. Mr. Gammansasked the Minister of Transport what action he proposes to take on the representations made to him 1258 on 7th October by the Hornsey Chamber of Commerce with regard to conditions at Highgate tube station.
§ The Minister of Transport (Mr. Barnes)The representations made by the Hornsey Chamber of Commerce relate to matters which are the concern of the British Transport Commission, to whom they have been sent.
§ Mr. GammansHas the Minister no authority to deal with this station, the approaches to which are among the most difficult, and probably the most dangerous in certain weather, of those at any London station?
§ Mr. BarnesI understand that these representations referred to escalators, the lighting of a footpath and a handrail to a wooden staircase, and I think those are obviously matters of management.
