HC Deb 03 February 1969 vol 777 c16
45. Mr. Moyle

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now announce his decision on the extension of the Fleet Line into South East London and the route which it will follow.

Mr. Bob Brown

The London Transport Board has not yet been able to put to us its proposals on this.

Mr. Moyle

Does my hon. Friend agree that the extension of the Fleet Line now that the first stage has been announced is essential to the solution of the South-East London travel to work problem? Will he undertake to pressurise the London Transport Board to produce the remainder of its proposals as soon as possible?

Mr. Brown

Whilst generally agreeing with what my hon. Friend said, I am certain that the Board is aware of the urgency of the situation in the area without any pressurisation from me.
