§ 55. Captain Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation when work is to start to implement his plans for relieving traffic congestion at Marble Arch, Hyde Park Corner and along Park Lane.
§ Mr. WatkinsonLegislation will be required to provide the necessary powers, and I hope to authorise the improvements as soon as possible after those powers have been obtained.
§ Mr. GibsonIn view of the urgency of this matter, will the right hon. Gentleman definitely inform us when legislation will be introduced? London is waiting for this.
