HC Deb 14 June 1928 vol 218 c1155
30. Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the delay in rebuilding the Thames wall in Grosvenor Road; and will he convene a conference of the authorities concerned in order that the work may proceed without unnecessary delay?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am informed that there is no avoidable delay in this matter, that an extensive survey of the works below the road level is essential, and is being made, before it can be decided what new works are required, and that much of the survey can be done only at low tide. I am assured that the wall as it is now is quite safe.

Mr. DAY

If it is quite safe, is it necessary to keep the sand-bags there?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

There is no particular reason for taking them away.
