London Underground System

Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Transport – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 12 February 1964.

Alert me about debates like this

Mr. Gresham Cooke:

Will my hon. Friend point out to the London Transport Board that the Paris Metro system is 12 times more intensive than the London Underground system and thereby leads to less traffic being on the roads and to less congestion on the buses? Would he also point out that areas like Chelsea and South London are not served to a marked degree by the Underground and that, if the Board wants to relieve congestion, that is the way to do it?
