HC Deb 24 June 1959 vol 607 cc139-40W
Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware of the congestion and confusion caused by two-way working in the narrowest part of Seymour Place, W.1, when vehicles are parked in it; and if he will introduce one-way working so as to lessen the confusion and reduce the danger of accidents.

Mr. Watkinson

I am asking the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee to consider this and other suggestions for relieving congestion in Seymour Place. I will get into touch with my hon. Friend as soon as I have considered the Committee's conclusions.

Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware that congestion is caused by two-way traffic in the narrowest part of Villiers Street, Strand, W.C.2, when vehicles are parked in it; and if he will enforce one-way working from south to north.

Mr. Watkinson

I am arringing for my hon. Friend's proposal to be examined. Before coming to a final decision I shall consult the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee.
