§ 41. Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware that the pavements in some London streets, especially in the suburbs, are far wider than it necessary for the small numbers of pedestrians who use them; and if he will instruct the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee in consultation with local authorities to inquire into the desirability of widening the carriageway where possible so as to ease traffic congestion.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI am asking my divisional road engineer to examine further the possibility of action along these lines with the highway authorities concerned.
