HC Deb 22 July 1971 vol 821 c325W
Mr. Wellbeloved

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware of the dangerous situation that exists at the Causeway, Riverside Gardens, Erith ; and if he will take action to co-ordinate the activities of the Metropolitan Police and other relevant authorities to ensure that adequate safety precautions are taken to protect local residents.

Mr. Sharples

The Greater London Council is discussing with the London Borough of Bexley and other local interests the works in the Erith area necessary to protect local residents. As to the second part of the Question, my right hon. Friend will shortly issue a circular to authorities in Greater London on the co-ordination of plans against the effect of Thames tidal flooding.
