§ Lieut.-Colonel MASONasked the Minister of Transport whether he will obtain from the London Traffic Advisory Committee a Report as to the possibility and desirability of converting the little-used railway from Holborn Viaduct station to St. Paul's station into a road leading on to Blackfriars Bridge from the east, thereby diverting the north and south horse-drawn traffic from Farringdon Street and New Bridge Street, and thus relieving the pressure at two of the most congested crossings in the City, namely, Ludgate Circus and Blackfriars?

If, after preliminary examination, it appears that the proposal is a practicable one, I will consider referring it to the London Traffic Advisory Committee.
