HC Deb 11 November 1969 vol 791 cc170-1
30. Mr. Barnes

asked the Minister of Transport if he will initiate a study into the cumulative effect on the environment of all current road schemes proposed for Brentford and Chiswick.

Mr. Murray

Environmental factors are taken into account in all road planning. These aspects will be examined with other issues arising from the road proposals in the Greater London Development Plan. A special study of Chiswick and Brentford would not be justified at present.

Mr. Barnes

Is my hon. Friend aware that he said that he would take this matter up with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Local Government and Regional Planning in view of my right hon. Friend's responsibility for environment? Can my hon. Friend assure me that I shall have an answer on this point?

Mr. Murray

I think my hon. Friend will find that there is a letter for him in the post on this matter right now.
