HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 cc141-2W
127. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Works what is the cost of the erection of the garage it is proposed to build in York Terrace, Regents Park, N.W.; and, as the building of the garage is contrary to the undertaking given to preserve the character and amenities of York Terrace, he will give an assurance that the proposal will be abandoned.

Mr. Key

In order to avoid parking cars in the Outer Circle and to help preserve the amenities of the Terraces, I am considering the possibility of providing a temporary car park by removing some derelict buildings and levelling a bombed site at the corner of York Terrace. It is not proposed to build a garage. The Crown Estate Paving Commission and the Commissioner of Police are being consulted about the scheme.
