§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much public investment in infrastructural works in Docklands had already taken place when the London Docklands Development Corporation became operational.
§ Sir George YoungThis information was not collected for the UDC area prior to the formation of the London Docklands Development Corporation in July 1981. The Docklands joint committee did, however, carry out a number of infrastructure projects between 1974 and early 1981 in what is now the LDDC area, such as the consolidation of large areas of Surrey and London docks and the draining of Beckton marshes.
