HC Deb 08 November 1955 vol 545 c180W
94. Mrs. L. Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware of the traffic congestion and waste of police manpower caused by works at the junction of Theobald's Road and Southampton Row; and whether he will take steps to shorten the period of dislocation.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The recent congestion here has been mainly due to the necessary alterations to mains before road improvements could be carried out. The London County Council, who is responsible for the improvements, is doing everything possible to expedite the work.
