HC Deb 12 June 1978 vol 951 c349W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked 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 Rodgers

Yes, 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.
