§ Mr. GILBERTasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the closing of railway stations in South London by the South-Eastern and -Chatham Railway Company on the Victoria to City loop line; whether he is aware that tramcars, omnibuses, and tubes serving these districts are at present overcrowded to excess at many hours of the day; and whether, in view of this and the urgent necessity of providing extra means of transit, he will take immediate steps to bring pressure on the South-Eastern and Chatham Railway Company to re-open these local stations and work this loop line as in pre-war times?
§ Sir ERIC GEDDESThe question of facilities for the conveyance of passengers in the districts through which the South-Eastern and Chatham Railway Company's loop line runs from Victoria to the City, is one for the consideration of the Advisory Committee which is being appointed in connection with London traffic, and it will be referred to that Committee.
