HC Deb 13 March 1956 vol 550 c27W
Sir J. Hutchison

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made with the Lang-bank Improvement Scheme, for which authorisation was given on 31st March, 1955; and whether it is now possible to give an estimate as to when the work will be completed.

Mr. Watkinson

Entry is now available on all the land required and the British Transport Commission, which is acting as my agents for the construction of the bridge under the railway, will be ready to invite tenders at the end of April.

Work must progress in phase with deliveries of the steel required and owing to difficulties in this connection a start is not likely for some time and completion cannot be expected before 1958.
