HC Deb 09 March 1984 vol 55 c718W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has given any further consideration to arrangements for the maintenance of road bridges which are now the responsibility of the Greater London council, if the Greater London council is abolished.

Mrs. Chalker

That is one of the matters being discussed with London local authorities.

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what measures he will take to ensure the continuation of work on the north-south route in the boroughs of Enfield and Haringey if the Greater London council is abolished.

Mrs. Chalker

As our consultation paper said, we will ensure that adequate arrangements are made. Discussions on these are in hand.

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy that no alteration will be made to the existing public consultations and public inquiry system in so far as it affects those who live on the 70 miles of existing metropolitan roads proposed for designation as trunk roads, when subject to new roadbuilding and traffic management schemes.

Mrs. Chalker

I shall answer this question shortly.
