HC Deb 12 March 1973 vol 852 c302W
Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has considered making arrangements for an underpass at the bottom of Whitehall so that people may have access to Parliament Square.

Mr. Channon

When the specification for the competition for the new parliamentary building was being prepared, the GLC asked for sufficient room to be left available for a pedestrian underpass from the corner of Parliament Street and Bridge Street. This was done and the proposal along with others for vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the Parliament Square and Whitehall area, will be considered in due course.
