HC Deb 24 July 1929 vol 230 cc1299-300
70. Sir WILLIAM DAVISON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can in form the House of the terms of the draft agreement which the Southern Railway Company have entered into for removing from the existing Charing Cross station on the north of the Thames and erecting a new station on the south side of the river; what is the site chosen; and whether consideration was given to any other site or sites?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The site is approximately a triangular one bounded on the one side by the proposed new elevated roadway on the river front, on the second side by Waterloo Road, and on the third by the approach to the new bridge; various other alternative sites and schemes have been exhaustively considered. The heads of the proposed agreement have already been made public. For the hon. Member's convenience I am causing a copy to be sent to him.
