Whether they are satisfied that the condition and appearance of the interior of the Blackfriars underpass, which provides a vehicular link between the Embankment and Upper Thames Street in central London, is appropriate to a world capital city in Millennium Year; and, if not, what action they propose for its improvement. [HL4637]
