London Assessment Study

HC Deb 08 December 1988 vol 143 cc243-4W

Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport which of the options listed in the east London assessment study stage 2a report he has instructed Ove Arup and partners to develop during the east London assessment study stage 2b.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We have not yet taken any view on the preliminary options produced by the study consultants. This must await the submission of the consultant's report in the summer 1989.

Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) how many representations he has received opposing options presented in the stage 2a reports of the London assessment study;

(2) how many representations he has received supporting the general principle of the London assessment study since the publication of the stage 2a reports in August; and from what types of organisations these have been received.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We have received about 600 representations expressing concern about some of the study options. Organisations supported some options and opposed others.
