78. Mrs. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will instruct the officer of the Metropolitan Police authorised for that purpose under Section 5 of the London Traffic Act, 1924, to report to the road authority that the pile of bricks and sand stored in the middle of the roadway in Trafalgar Square outside South Africa House has caused an obstruction in the street for a longer period than is reasonably necessary.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeI am informed that this obstruction has now been removed. It consisted of materials required for work on a sewer; the job was scheduled to take eight weeks and was completed within that period.
