§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has received the pamphlet and booklet entitled "London's Docks, an Alternative Strategy", prepared by the Joint Dock-lands Action Group and Tower Hamlets Action Committee on Jobs, sent to him by the hon. Member for Newham, North-West; and whether he will make a statement in connection with it.
§ Mr. William RodgersYes, and I have noted with interest the views expressed in them. I will be making a full statement when I have received and considered firm proposals from the PLA for dealing with its financial situation. As I said in the House on 8th May—[Vol. 949, c. 771–8]—the Government are fully aware of the industrial, social and environmental aspects of the problem.
