§ 53. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport what stage has now been reached in plans for the projected extension of the Eastern Avenue through the borough of Leyton.
§ Mr. MarplesThe Eastern Avenue extension is not included in the current Trunk Road programme announced for the years up to 1966–67, but since about 300 houses will have to be demolished, I am already acquiring property by agreement well in advance of construction. So far 42 houses have been acquired and negotiations for a further 18 are in progress.
