HC Deb 29 March 1961 vol 637 c129W
26. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the danger, noise and destruction of amenities caused by motor coaches approaching Victoria coach station being routed to pass along Eaton Terrace, S.W.1, he will instruct the Traffic Commissioner for the Metropolitan area to route these coaches along roads which are not exclusively residential, not so narrow, nor so liable to accidents.

Mr. Hay

The Traffic Commissioner has an application by some coach operators to vary their road service licences so that their coaches may run along Eaton Terrace. By Statute the Commissioner is independent in his decisions on these licences. Since the case might come to my right hon. Friend in his appellate capacity, there is nothing I can say about it at the present time.
