7. Sir GEORGE HAMILTONasked the Lord Privy Seal whether the new proposals for the control of London traffic will in any way delay his schemes for the extension of London tubes?
Mr. THOMASI presume that the hon. Member refers to certain extensions and improvements of the London tube railways which are the subject of an application under the Development (Loan Guarantees and Grants) Act. I do not think the inauguration of these works should be delayed as a result of the recent announcement of the Government's 214 policy in regard to the co-ordination of passenger transport in the London traffic area.
8. Sir G. HAMILTONasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will encourage by some financial assistance the immediate building of a tube east of London to Ilford and beyond as an integral part of the new London traffic scheme?
Mr. THOMASIt would be open to any authority or company proposing to build a tube from London to Ilford and beyond, to make application under the Development Act for Government financial assistance in connection with any such scheme.
