§ Mr. Stokesasked the Minister of Labour whether he can state, with respect to the .25 estates that have been purchased from the Special Areas Fund for land settlement in England and Wales, where these estates are; the area of each; the price paid for each; and the net rateable value of each previous to acquisition?
§ Mr. E. BrownThe answers to the first three parts of this question are given in the statement below. I have no information about the rateable value of these estates; since they are agricultural they are not subject to rates except in respect of houses and cottages thereon.
Bridge Road, Whipps Cross Road, Wood Street, and Raglan Road, in view of the great increase in traffic and the awkward convergence of these roadways?
§ Captain WallaceI am informed that the London Passenger Transport Board anticipate that the trolley bus service between Leyton and Aldgate via Whipps Cross will commence in October next, and that they are negotiating with the Epping Forest Conservators concerning a site for a passenger shelter near the hospital. The stopping places will be 415W reviewed before the trolley bus service is commenced.
It is proposed to defer consideration of the question whether light control signals should be provided at the junction of Lea Bridge Road, Whipps Cross Road, Wood Street and Raglan Road until experience has been gained of the effect of the roundabout now under construction.
