§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Transport if he can now state the precise date on which it is proposed to bring into force the control of Oxford Street traffic by automatic signals; whether he has received any representations in opposition to this scheme; and whether such representations will be taken into due account before the details are finally arranged?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONRepresentations have been received from a number of sources upon certain restrictions on the movement of traffic which it is proposed to impose in connection with the installation of automatic control signals in Oxford Street. These representations have been referred to the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee for advice. I am awaiting the report of the committee, and am unable at present to state the precise date on which the signalling system will be brought into operation.
