HC Deb 18 December 1929 vol 233 c1439W
Mr. THORNE

asked the Minister of Transport when the contractors will commence operations on the road work in respect to the new Victoria Dock arterial road scheme?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

As my hon. Friend is aware the only work which can be commenced, until rehousing accommodation is provided, is the construction of the bridge over the River Lee. Work on rehousing will be commenced this week. The London County Council have received tenders for the construction of the bridge over the Lee, and it is hoped that the contract will be let very shortly.
