HC Deb 27 July 1989 vol 157 c828W
Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many London Underground stations have only one public exit from the platforms to the street; and what proposals he has discussed with London Underground Ltd. to provide these stations with secondary exiting.

Mr. Portillo

There are 118 stations with only one exit at street level, of which 29 are deep-level stations. In pursuit of recommendation 124 of the Fennell report, London Underground Ltd. has embarked on a programme of surveying stations with disused lift-shafts and passageways, to identify possible secondary exits and to establish the cost of conversion.
