PROPOSAL FOR FREE TRAVEL IN LONDON ON ROYAL WEDDING DAY

That this House notes that millions of people will need to move around London on the day of the Royal Wedding on 29 April 2011; further notes that many visitors to London and tourists are not regular users of London's transport network and do not have Oyster cards; further notes that commuting by car on this day will be difficult and inefficient; recognises that practical measures will be needed to ensure the day goes smoothly; welcomes the proposal by the former Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, that across all methods of public transport controlled by the Mayor of London there should be free travel on the Royal Wedding Day; and calls on the current Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, to implement this welcome proposal.
