§ 94. Mrs. L. Jegerasked 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-CarpenterThe 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.
