LONDON TRAFFIC (LEGISLATION).

HC Deb 24 June 1920 vol 130 c2420W

Mr. K. JONES

asked the Prime Minister what action the Government propose to take with respect to the establishment of a traffic authority for London?

Mr. NEAL

I have been asked to reply to this question. The hon. Member was informed personally by the Leader of the House on the 26th April that the Cabinet was in general agreement on the need for a central regulative authority, and that instructions had been given for the drafting of a Bill which would in due course be submitted to the Cabinet for approval and consideration on important details regarding Parliamentary control, finance, and machinery. This Bill is now being drafted, and if approved by the Cabinet will come before the House next Session.
