HC Deb 18 March 1936 vol 310 c453W
Sir J. POWER

asked the Minister of Transport whether any plans are on foot for the extension of the tube train service from Morden to Hook, under the Government's public works schemes to relieve the unemployed?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The London Passenger Transport Agreement was to secure the early provision of urgently needed facilities in accordance with an agreed programme of which my hon. Friend will be aware. The London Passenger Transport Board report that the railway to Morden is already working to capacity and there is not sufficient margin to admit of operating additional traffic to Hook.
