§ 18. Mr. LOOKERasked the Minister of Transport whether the construction of the terminal road bridge and approaches to the London to Tilbury arterial road will be put in hand this year.
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)It is very unlikely that the work will be begun this year.
§ Mr. LOOKERIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that, when a deputation visited his Department on this subject, some 18 months ago, a promise was given that this work would be put in hand at as early date, and when may we hope that that promise will be carried out?
§ Colonel ASHLEYAs my hon. Friend must realise, it is a matter of opinion when an early date materialises.
§ Mr. LOOKERThe deputation were promised that it would be done in the immediate future.
§ Colonel HOWARD-BURYIs it affected by the raid on the Road Fund?
