HC Deb 04 March 1936 vol 309 c1381
56. Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is now in a position to make any further statement with regard to the proposed Charing Cross bridge, or whether this proposal has been finally abandoned by his Department?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I asked the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee to review the case for safeguarding the possibility of constructing a road bridge in the neighbourhood of Charing Cross, and I am awaiting their report on the subject.

Mr. DAY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that nearly six years ago his predecessor said that a final announcement would be made shortly, and is it not nearly time that some decision was arrived at

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I do not know what was said six years ago, but I have taken practical steps.

Mr. DAY

Will the right hon. Gentleman refer to that question and answer? He will then see.
