§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for Transport if the consultants carrying out the London area assessment studies have obtained current data on traffic and travel patterns in the areas concerned.
§ Mrs. ChalkerA considerable amount of information has been assembled for these important studies of London's problems. Regrettably the GLC and certain boroughs have so far failed to make available the relevant material they hold. However, I hope the consultants will shortly obtain the remaining data they need.
§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the total cost of the four London area assessment studies.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThat will depend on how much work the successive stages of the studies require and the extent to which the GLC and the boroughs make relevant data available to the Department of Transport.
