§ 32. Lieut.-Colonel Marcus Liptonasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the traffic congestion caused in central London by the Lord Mayor's Show, he will arrange with the authorities concerned for this ceremony in future years to take place on Saturday.
§ Mr. MaclayMy right hon. and learned Friend the Home Secretary and I will give this suggestion early consideration.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonIs the Minister aware that a Saturday procession would be much less of a nuisance to adults, and a much greater boon to school children, and that everyone would benefit from a change of day? This matter has been under consideration for nearly 12 months.
§ Mr. MaclayThe hon. and gallant Gentleman will no doubt realise that a very large number of people and organisations are involved in this question. We shall consider it as soon as we can.
