§ Sir G. Humeasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that, pursuant to the powers given under the London Passenger Transport Board Act, 1937, it is proposed to provide a service of trolley-buses along the residential road known as Sherard Road, Eltham, and that this road is 21 feet wide at its narrowest; that the trolley-buses will be superimposed on four services of omnibuses already using the road, and that there is a strong opinion in Eltham generally against the use of Sherard Road either for omnibuses or trolley-buses because it is considered to be unsuitable and dangerous for such traffic; and whether he will take steps to obtain a variation of such plans, and would be willing to receive a deputation to enable the local residents to bring the matter before him, personally, or before one of his responsible officers?
§ Mr. BurginThis matter was fully discussed in Committee in another place and I am not in a position to interfere with the discretion of the London Passenger Transport Board in the exercise of2684W the statutory powers which have now been conferred upon them.
