46. Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will make a statement on the progress of the construction of the Chiswick flyover; and what steps he will take to speed up the work.
§ Mr. WatkinsonProgress with the Chiswick flyover is on schedule and work should be completed, as planned, by the end of August, 1959. The complexity of the work and the need to keep traffic moving while it is in progress make it impracticable to finish sooner, but the completion of the surface roundabout next spring should be of great benefit to traffic.
Mr. Gresham CookeIs my right hon. Friend aware that that statement will give satisfaction to a number of people this summer who have not seen very much activity on the by-pass?
