HC Deb 03 February 1960 vol 616 c974
9. Mr. Grimond

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement on his plans for London traffic.

Mr. Marples

I hope to announce my plans in the near future.

Mr. Grimond

Since the Minister's return, he will have noted that the condition of London traffic is no better. Can he tell the House as soon as possible whether he intends to extend the Pink Zone scheme, and what are his reflections on it now?

Mr. Marples

I will certainly make an announcement as soon as possible. Legislation is needed, and administrative and financial problems arise, but the announcement will not be too long delayed.
