HC Deb 05 May 1958 vol 587 cc79-80W
59. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made with the reconstruction of Barking Station; and when it is expected to be completed.

Mr. Watkinson

The British Transport Commission informs me that the construction of the flyovers and re-arrangement of the running lines art Barking Station are between one-third and one-half completed and are due to be finished by the end of 1959. The British Transport Commission and Barking Corporation are now jointly considering a scheme for the reconstruction of the station buildings. The reconstruction work would take about two years to complete once it was under way.
