HC Deb 28 July 1919 vol 118 c1840W
Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

asked the First Commissioner of Works why traffic is now stopped through the centre gate of Admiralty Arch, and on whose authority?

Sir ALFRED MOND

As refuges have recently been placed close to the Arch on both sides, it is necessary to close the centre gate to traffic in order to protect foot passengers crossing the road, and this was done on my authority.
