HC Deb 05 February 1964 vol 688 cc155-6W
84. Mr. Marsh

asked the Minister of Transport if he will cause an inquiry to be made into the conditions under which the commuting public of South-East London travel to work, with particular reference to the exacerbation of these problems which will be caused by the increase in the population of the area contemplated in the present housing policy of Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Marples

Studies are already in hand which will help the forward planning of transport facilities in relation to new housing and other developments, notably the South-East Regional Study and the London Traffic Survey. The British Railways and London Transport Boards, who are responsible for providing passenger transport facilities in London, are fully associated with these studies.
