HC Deb 16 December 1929 vol 233 cc1005-6W
Mr. RUNCIMAN

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in the preparation of plans relating to the Dartford and Purfleet (Thames) tunnel scheme, consideration, and, if so, what consideration, has been given to possible requirements of depth of water and freedom from obstruction to the waterway under future developments of port construction and the increased size of steamers?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

Consultation on these points is taking place between my Department, the consulting, engineers in charge of the project and the Port of London Authority.
