§ 26. Sir R. Boothbyasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what action he has taken to relieve the traffic congestion at Smithfield market; and whether he is now satisfied that meat is being moved in and out with sufficient expedition.
§ Mr. MolsonSome difficulties were encountered on Monday, 5th July, but traffic moved normally later in the week. We are satisfied that the measures taken by the Commissioner of Police for the City of London—particularly the ban on private cars entering the market precincts—have been successful in restoring the free movement of traffic.
§ Sir R. BoothbyWhile thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask him for an assurance that he will not use helicopters at Smithfield?
