HC Deb 07 March 1973 vol 852 cc119-20W
32. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many houses in the constituency of Willesden, West will need to be demolished in the event of Ringway One being built; and if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the names of the roads and the numbers which would be so affected.

Mr. Rippon

The Government have agreed in principle that Ringway 1 should remain in the Greater London Development Plan but no decisions have yet been made on its detailed alignment. It is therefore not possible to give the number or location of the houses that would need to be demolished.

49. Mr. Strauss

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment to what extent his decision to support the construction of Ring Road One advocated in the Lay-field Report was influenced by the need to relieve the traffic flow likely to be engendered by the new Covent Garden Market at Nine Elms.

Mr. Rippon

The Government's decision in principle to retain Ringway 1 was based on the need to relieve traffic congestion in central London; it took account of traffic likely to be generated by the new market.
