HC Deb 30 June 1959 vol 608 cc220-1
9 and 10. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs (1) to what extent the plans for the development of the site of the Stag Brewery, Victoria, contain provision for the parking of cars; and how many car spaces will be made available;

(2) to what extent the plans for the development of the Stag Brewery site, Victoria, will allow for a new street from Victoria Street, to Buckingham Palace Road.

Mr. Bevins

My right hon. Friend has under consideration certain proposals for the redevelopment of this site, which have been referred to him as they constitute a departure from the County of London Development Plan. These proposals include provision for 359 car spaces in addition to lock-up garages, and for a new street from Victoria Street to Warwick Row. My right hon. Friend can express no opinion on the merits of the proposals at present.

Mr. Gresham Cooke

Is my hon. Friend aware that this very fine project for a new street in the centre of London, and for over 350 car spaces and underground car parks, will receive the widest approval and appreciation if it proves acceptable?
