HC Deb 29 January 1958 vol 581 c357
28. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation why Lombard Street has not been made a one-way street.

Mr. Nugent

We have not made Lombard Street a one-way street because the resulting traffic difficulties in neighbouring streets would outweigh any advantages in Lombard Street itself.

Mr. Langford-Holt

Should my hon. Friend therefore not consider providing for unilateral parking, or are we to be committed indefinitely to daily traffic jams?

Mr. Nugent

This is a difficult, narrow street. I am afraid there is no simple solution.

Mr. D. Jones

Would the hon. Gentleman not agree that with Bank Rate at 7 per cent. Lombard Street is a one-way street?
