HC Deb 04 December 1957 vol 579 c49W
87. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what is the present position of the projected plan for the extension of the Eastern Avenue through the borough of Leyton; approximately, how many houses are likely to be demolished for this purpose; and, in view of the concern among householders and tenants, what further information he has in respect of compensation.

Mr. Nugent

Discussions with public bodies affected have not yet been completed, but we are doing all we can to get agreement so that we can advertise the necessary draft Statutory Orders. Until these have been made, I cannot say definitely which properties will be affected. There has been no change in the basis for the assessment of compensation.
