Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has for the future ownership and maintenance of bridges over the River Thames other than in the City of London within the area of the Greater London council.

Our consultation paper proposals to trunk certain routes would make Twickenham and Kew bridges a Department of Transport responsibility.

Ownership and maintenance of other bridges not at present maintained by the City of London will be decided after consultation with the London boroughs.
