§ Mr. G. P. Stevensasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make any further statement about future arrangements for the Lord Mayor's Show.
§ Sir H. Lucas-ToothYes. The traffic problems created by the Lord Mayor's Show have been fully examined by a Working Party representing the interests primarily concerned. The Working Party have recommended some changes in the traditional route and certain modifications in the waiting arrangements while the Lord Mayor attends the Royal Courts of Justice.
These recommendations have been accepted by the authorities of the City of London and the City of Westminster, and are to be put into effect this year. It is hoped that they will substantially reduce the traffic difficulties which the Show has created in past years and my right hon. and learned Friend very much appreciates the spirt of co-operation which the City authorities have shown.
