§ 66. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation to what extent Government grants for the improvement of roads running through the Borough of Leyton have been suspended or curtailed; and how this has affected urgently needed schemes particularly that affecting the Lea Bridge Road by Forest Drive.
§ Mr. WatkinsonNot at all. I have invited the Essex County Council to apply for grant for the Lea Bridge Road scheme in this financial year.
§ 70. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation when the alterations and improvements of the roadway and bridge in Ruckholt Road, Leyton, and the operations in the Lea Bridge Road are likely to be completed.
§ Mr. MolsonWe are not directly concerned with the works on Ruckholt Bridge or in Lea Bridge Road, but I am informed that these works are expected to be completed by March, 1957, and October, 1956, respectively. The Leyton Borough Council expect to complete the improvement of the eastern approach to Ruckholt Bridge, for which my right hon. Friend has made a grant, by March or April, 1957.
