HC Deb 14 December 1972 vol 848 cc196-7W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, as part of his consideration of the redevelopment of Parliament Square, he will ascertain approximate numbers of persons passing through or under the Square on a weekday by the following modes, foot, cycle, taxi, bus, private cars, and underground; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

Traffic flows in Parliament Square are one of the many considerations affecting the redevelopment of the area and studies are at present being carried out into this aspect. I am not yet ready to make a statement.
