HC Deb 11 July 1966 vol 731 cc151-2W
Mr. Berry

asked the Minister of Transport (1) when she proposes to give her approval to the plans for the three new underground railway lines which the London Transport Board has drawn up in conjunction with British Railways; and to what extent the cost of these lines will be borne by the Board;

(2) if she will publish the plans for the three new underground railway lines which London Transport have drawn up in conjunction with British Railways and have submitted to her for approval.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend will decide as soon as she can whether to approve the Board's proposals to extend the Victoria line to Brixton, and the Holborn—Aldwych line to Waterloo, and, if she approves them, the method of finance. The Fleet line proposal has not yet been submitted to her formally.

London Transport's Annual Report for 1965, of which there is a copy in the Library, contains a plan of these three proposals.
