HC Deb 17 May 1960 vol 623 cc103-4W
53. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he will place a preservation order on the various buildings at Euston Station which the British Transport Commission have served notice that they intend to demolish.

Sir K. Joseph

The London County Council has expert advice that the Great Hall at Euston Station prevents full advantage being taken of the Euston main line electrification. My right hon. Friend does not therefore feel justified in intervening, though he regrets the loss of the Hall. The experts advised that the Doric Arch must be moved but could be re-erected elsewhere on the site. The London County Council is in touch with the British Transport Commission on this and my right hon. Friend has asked to be kept informed.
