§ Sir K. WOODasked the Minister of Transport whether there has been any delay with the widening of High Street, Eltham; whether the same is to be postponed until negotiations over Barclays Bank property have been settled; and whether he can state the present position of the matter?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONIt has been necessary to await the acquisition of certain properties, in respect of which arbitration proceedings have been recently held. The widening of the east side of Barclays Bank will be proceeded with immediately possession is obtained. Negotiations are about to be entered into with the bank with a view to the setting back of that property to the widened line.
