§ 10. Mr. Langford-Holtasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what additional road space will become available as a result of building operations now being carried out in Bennet Street between St. James' Street and Arlington Street.
§ Mr. MolsonResponsibility in this matter is divided between the Westminster City Council as highway authority, and the L.C.C. as planning authority. The city council did not propose any widening of Bennet Street as its capacity is limited by the traffic signals at the Arlington Street—Piccadilly junction rather than by its width. The L.C.C., however, in granting planning permission to redevelop the south side, imposed a condition that the new building should be serviced from Arlington Street. This arrangement should relieve Bennet Street of standing traffic.
