HC Deb 13 June 1961 vol 642 c27W
54. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has approved the Edinburgh Corporation's proposals to change traffic regulations at the west end of Princes Street; and whether he is aware of the inconvenience caused to road users by the continual changes at this crossing.

Mr. Maclay

The regulation of traffic at this busy road junction raises problems of considerable complexity and the corporation, which has the primary responsibility, has decided to introduce an alternative scheme of traffic light control. It has been informed that the question of grant assistance will be considered when there has been sufficient experience of the scheme.
