§ Mr. Berryasked the Minister of Transport what plans she has for increasing the number of box junctions in London; and, in particular, whether she will instal them at the junctions of Oxford Street and Davies Street, W.1, and Bond Street and Brook Street, W.1.
§ Mr. SwinglerWe have invited local highway authorities to put in box junctions wherever they are needed throughout the country. Overall responsibility for such markings in London rests with the Greater London Council as traffic authority.
I understand that they and the London Boroughs have plans for increasing the number of box junctions considerably as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. The two sites mentioned will be included in the list of sites under consideration by the Greater London Council in consultation with the police and the London Boroughs.
