§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the estimated cost of the Docklands light railway spur from Canning Town to Stratford.
§ Sir George YoungI understand that there are no proposals to build a spur of the Docklands light railway directly from Stratford to Canning Town, which are already connected by British Rail's North Woolwich line. The LDDC has however, identified the route of a possible spur from the proposed eastern extension to Canning Town at an estimated cost of £3 million.
