§ 14. Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Minister of Transport what requests she has received for capital expenditure sanction for the extension of the Underground Railway to Roehampton.
§ Mr. JenkinsWill my hon. Friend consider very carefully such an application if it should be received and will he confirm that the facilities at present supplied are possibly adequate for the small village of Roehampton, but take no account at all of the large Alton estate, the colleges of education or the Queen Mary's Hospital? Does he not agree that the provision of public transport in this part of my constituency is grossly inadequate?
§ Mr. SwinglerWe will certainly consider any proposal very carefully, if it is put forward. At the moment we have several important proposals, such as the extension of the Victoria Line to Brixton and the extension of the Piccadilly Line to London Airport, which warrant much higher priorities.
