§ 54. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made with the Cromwell Road extension scheme, and with the proposed fly-over junction at Hammersmith; and, in view of the importance of this route between the centre of London and both London Airport and the west of England, what steps he will take to ensure that the scheme is completed in the near future.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterWork has started on the London County Council's part of this scheme, and work on the Middlesex part of the scheme is expected to start in September. The L.C.C. and the Middlesex County Council are pressing on with the work as quickly as possible. As I explained in reply to earlier Questions, the fly-over will not be included initially.
§ Mr. JannerWill the Minister say why the fly-over is not to be included, and will he give us some indication when the scheme as at present proposed is likely to be completed?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI have twice already told the House that the reason the fly-over will not be included initially is that the London County Council, which is the promoting authority, does not wish to include it.
§ Mr. JannerWhen will the scheme be completed?
