HC Deb 14 November 1939 vol 353 c575W
Mr. M. Samuel

asked the Minister of Transport whether the Port of London Authority propose to construct a pier at Putney, as authorised by him?

Captain Wallace

This proposal was first put forward in the early part of July when it was thought that a pier at Putney might be of use for the collection and evacuation of casualties. After further consideration in October the Port of London Authority came to the conclusion that the possible utility of the pier for these purposes was insufficient to justify the expenditure that would be involved.
