§ Sir J. Vaughan-Morganasked the Minister of Transport what stage he has reached in working out detailed proposals with regard to the traffic diversion from Oxford Street; and whether they have yet been submitted for criticism and consideration to the Westminster City Council.
§ Mr. MarplesI am considering the many comments, including Westminster City Council's, which I have received on the outline proposals announced last August. I am also considering other important aspects, such as possible alternative routes for buses. I shall certainly consult the Westminster City Council again and also the other interests concerned.
§ Sir J. Vaughan-Morganasked the Minister of Transport whether he has studied the technical report prepared for the committee of residents concerning his outline proposals for the diversion of east-bound traffic from Oxford Street to 19W Upper Brook Street, Brook Street and Grosvenor Square; and whether he is now prepared to receive representations from that committee.
20W
§ Mr. MarplesThe report, which is a detailed one, is still being studied. When my study is complete, I shall be getting in touch with the committee.
