Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reasons Victoria Embankment was closed to traffic on the evening of 19th September; and for what reasons diversion notices were not put in place.

Answer: Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport for what reasons Victoria Embankment was closed to traffic on the evening of 19 September; and for what reasons diversion notices were not put in place. [197679] Mr. McNulty: Victoria Embankment was closed to traffic in the evening of 19 September for the Mayor's Thames Festival. I understand that the Festival organisers arranged for diversion notices to be put out 10 days before the event; and that Transport for London also put diversion notices on the dot matrix displays on their road network.
