HC Deb 09 March 1960 vol 619 c422
37. Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Transport how many cars could be accommodated by the use of the space where work is in progress outside the Air Ministry in Whitehall Gardens as a car park.

Mr. Hay

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Works informs me that this area is now being laid out as a garden and that it would not be practicable to make use of it as a car park while work is in progress.

Mr. Webster

Would my hon. Friend agree that there is not sufficient accommodation for cars used by Board of Trade and Air Ministry staff who use the building and that it is unfortunate that Government Departments should not give a lead to assist in car parking facilities in the West End of London?

Mr. Hay

I do not think it would be wise for me to agree on either of the two propositions of my hon. Friend.
