Mrs. Butlerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what is the ratio of car parking space to square feet of guest rooms and of dining accommodation in the new Hilton Hotel; and what is the standard upon which the ratio was based.
§ Mr. CorfieldI am informed that the car parking standards in use by the London County Council require one car space for every five bedrooms; there is no fixed standard for hotel dining rooms, each case being dealt with on its merits. In this instance, 101 car spaces are provided for the 506 bedrooms at the hotel and 264 spaces for the public rooms, including dining accommodation.
