HC Deb 10 November 1937 vol 328 c1780W
Mr. Channon

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is satisfied with the progress made on the London-Southend arterial road; and can he indicate an approximate date when the work will be completed?

Mr. Burgin

The general programme of the Essex County Council contemplates the completion of this work early in 1940; in all the circumstances I do not feel justified in pressing for greater expedition.
