"A.305 | Junction with A.307 (Richmond) | Junction with A.310 (Twickenham)." |
§ Mr. GalbraithI beg to move. That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
Would it be convenient to take the next with this, Mr. Speaker?
§ Mr. SpeakerIf the House pleases.
§ Mr. GalbraithThese Lords Amendments add two additional lengths of road to the schedule of metropolitan roads, Richmond Bridge and the approaches, and part of A.310 which continues the road from the bridge approach south to Hampton Wick. The advantage is that Richmond Bridge is made part of a metropolitan road and therefore the responsibility of the G.L.C.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 156, line 35, column 3, after "Clapham Common" insert:
excluding the whole of the centre island of Sloane Square".
§ Mr. GalbraithI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
The effect of this is that the centre of Sloane Square, now the responsibility of Chelsea Borough Council, should remain the responsibility of the new London borough of Chelsea and Kensington. The carriageways around will be part of the metropolitan road and thus the responsibility of the G.L.C.
§ Question put and agreed to.
