HC Deb 24 April 1951 vol 487 cc50-1W
Mr. Hutchinson

asked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the resolution, a copy of which has been sent to him, passed at a public meeting held at the Town Hall, Ilford, on Friday 16th March, 1951, supporting the representations which have been made by the Ilford Borough Council to him for the reconstruction of the bridge carrying Eastern Avenue over the railway at Newbury Park station and asking that the reconstruction of this bridge be carried out during the forthcoming financial year, he will reconsider his decision not to proceed with this scheme during 1951.

Mr. Barnes

The limitations on the funds that I have available for works of this kind are at least as serious as when I first reached my decision. I therefore regret that I cannot reconsider it.
