§ Mr. GOLDIEasked the Minister of Transport whether he will cause a safety 836W crossing to be provided in the neighbourhood of Temple Avenue for the safety and convenience of persons crossing the Embankment to and from the adjacent tramcar stop?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe conclusion reached in the past was that the provision of a pedestrian crossing at this place would not be in the interests of pedestrians, but in view of my hon. Friend's question I have had the matter reviewed. The result is to confirm the previous conclusion. The tramcar stop is opposite Carmelite Street where a police constable is stationed to assist pedestrians crossing the road. A scheme for the erection of light signals at a number of points along the Embankment, including the junction with Carmelite Street, is at present the subject of negotiations with the Corporation of the City of London. The installation of light signals will make for the safety and convenience of persons crossing the Embankment in the neighbourhood of Temple Avenue.
