§ 22. Mr. Liptonasked the Minister of Transport if she has now decided to approve the extension of the Victoria underground to Brixton.
§ Mr. SwinglerMy right hon. Friend hopes to reach a decision soon.
§ Mr. LiptonHaving advocated this extension for more than 20 years, I find that a rather disappointing Answer. Will my hon. Friend give an undertaking that he will make 1967 the year of the great leap forward and, before the end of the year, sanction this much needed extension?
§ Mr. SwinglerI should have expected my hon. Friend to be glad that the proposal he made 20 years ago has got to 1467 the top and is now on my right hon. Friend's table. As it is a £16 million project, she must give it very careful scrutiny, but a decision will be announced in the next few weeks
