HC Deb 27 July 1949 vol 467 c149W
Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Transport what road plans he has under consideration for the London area; and to what extent he proposes to modify these, in view of the£340 million plan for new underground railways.

Mr. Barnes

Consideration of major road schemes in London is at present suspended owing to the economic situation which will also govern the scope and nature of railway developments. As I indicated last week in reply to Questions by the hon. Members for the Ayr Burghs (Sir T. Moore) and Huntingdon (Mr. Renton), the Government have the need for co-ordination between road and rail plans fully in mind.
