Greater London Development Plan

HC Deb 27 January 1967 vol 739 c384W

Mr. Berry

asked the Minister of Transport when the long-term plan for London, being prepared by the Transport Council for London, will be announced.

Mr. Swingler

The plan which I think the hon. Member has in mind is the transport element of the Greater London Development Plan, which the Greater London Council is preparing for submission to the Minister of Housing and Local Government by the end of 1968. The work is being done in close cooperation with the Working Groups of the Transport Co-ordinating Council for London. I understand that there is as yet no precise timetable for the transport element of the Plan. But a third report of the London Transportation Study, expected during 1967, should enable further progress to be made.
