§ 76. Mr. Fisherasked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to expedite the completion of road repairs in the West End of London, in view of the dislocation of traffic and the extra volume of traffic due to the Festival of Britain.
§ Mr. BarnesI have made arrangements to ensure that no resurfacing works will be carried out on the main roads in the central area of London, including the West End, before the end of September. Where small patching works of less than 50 square yards have to be done the work will be carried out at weekends. The various undertakers have also been asked to avoid works on the main roads during the Festival of Britain period.
