§ 93. Mr. Beswickasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation whether permission has yet been, or will be, given to the L.P.T.B. to run an omnibus route through the West End Road, alongside Northolt airport, in accordance with the letter which the hon. Member for Uxbridge wrote to him on 23rd September, 1946.
§ Mr. LindgrenTraffic is allowed to pass freely along West End Road except at such times as aircraft are taking off or landing across the road, when barriers are closed. No permission is needed from my noble Friend for an omnibus service to use West End Road, but in the interest of public safety, he has power to interrupt the flow of road traffic in this way at the times referred to. I see no prospect, however, of being able, in the near future, to make West End Road available for traffic without interruption.
