§ Mr. MARCHasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the number of workpeople and vehicles held up for considerable periods owing to the long time the swing bridge over the Millwall dock entrance is closed to traffic; and whether he will take any action to remedy this delay by the Port of London Authority?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI have received representations regarding the inadequacy of the bridge to which my hon. Friend refers, and am in communication with the London County Council and the Port of London Authority with a view to ascertaining whether arrangements can be made for the construction of a new bridge at this point. A new bridge would not do away with delays to traffic caused by the opening of the bridge, but, in so far as it could be more rapidly operated, delays would be reduced.
