HC Deb 13 February 1957 vol 564 c1251
36. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether the proposed Eastern Avenue extension through the Borough of Leyton will have a double carriage way; and approximately to what extent the existing thoroughfare will be extended in area when the project is completed.

Mr. Watkinson

Dual carriageways will be provided on the proposed Eastern Avenue extension through the Borough of Leyton, but until the detailed engineering design has been carried out I cannot say to what extent the existing thoroughfare will be extended in area.

Mr. Sorensen

Can the right hon. Gentleman give at least some indication of the area that will be used if the double carriageway is continued through Leyton, in view of the fact that there is no double carriageway there at the moment?

Mr. Watkinson

I will certainly write and let the hon. Member know.

Forward to
