§ 62. Mr. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the congestion of traffic along the Victoria Embankment and the limited number of omnibuses for which that part of the embankment formerly used by trams is now used, he will direct that the whole roadway be used to relieve this congestion.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI am advised that there would be considerable practical objections to, and dangers in, the use of the tram track by east-bound as well as west-bound omnibuses or by general west-bound traffic. The solution lies in the removal of the tram lines and the reconstruction of the carriageway. Plans for this have been prepared by the local authorities concerned, and I have decided to approve for immediate execution that part of the work which is on the Coronation route.
