HC Deb 24 November 1989 vol 162 cc25-6W
Mr. Sedgemore

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make available copies of the final east London assessment study, free of charge, to people living in the study area; and if he will make a statement on consultation.

Mr. Atkins

Free copies of the reports will be available for members of the public to consult in borough libraries throughout the study area. Free summaries will also be readily available. Details of the arrangements for obtaining public comment will be given when the consultant's report is published next month.

Mr. Sedgemore

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the cost of the east London assessment study phase 11A study; and what is the estimated cost of the east London assessment study 11B study.

Mr. Atkins

Stage 2 of east London assessment study is expected to cost about £1.75 million, but that sum is not readily apportionable between stages 2A and 2B.
