HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 cc191-2W
Captain Pilkington

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether, in conjunction with the Minister of Works, he will utilise the present decrease in London traffic to redesign the present congestion areas at Marble Arch, Hyde Park Corner, Alexandra Gate and Victoria Gate.

Mr. Watkinson

I am discussing possible plans for these places with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Works and the other authorities concerned. I have the point made by my hon. and gallant Friend well in mind, but any schemes of reconstruction, particularly for Marble Arch and Hyde Park Corner, will take a considerable time to prepare and execute.
