§ Lieut.-Colonel MASONasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the inadequacy of Upper Thames Street to cope with the heavy and increasing traffic which it has to carry; and if he will cause investigation to be made by the London Traffic Advisory Committee?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI am aware of the congestion in this street which is due to waiting vehicles having business at the wharves and warehouses. The Committee have already considered this matter, but I understand that owing to the nature of the business in this area they hold the view that congestion is unavoidable. The Commissioner of Police for the City has the street constantly under observation, and does everything possible to alleviate the position.
