§ Mr. Berryasked the Minister of Transport what proposals she has received from London Transport to build multi-storey car parks at undergound stations; whether these proposals have been costed by her from the standpoint of social benefits as well as on orthodox financial grounds; whether it is her policy to make it a condition of approval that such parks should be able to sell services for cars; and whether she will make a statement.
§ Mr. SwinglerMy right hon. Friend has received no such proposals, although London Transport is rapidly increasing the amount of surface parking space at its stations. In assessing any such proposals she would take account of the social benefits they would confer. Legislation will be introduced in due course to empower London Transport to sell services for cars at its car parks.
