HC Deb 12 March 1991 vol 187 cc426-7W
Mr. Spearing

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will state what features to facilitate bus services he expects to incorporate in the rebuilt roads on either side of the new Lower Lea bridge.

Mr. Freeman

The rebuilding of roads on either side of the Lower Lea road crossing is being carried out by the London Docklands development corporation and the borough councils concerned. It will be for them to decide what features to help buses should be provided.

In planning improvements on the nearby A13 trunk road at the Ironbridge and Canning Town we shall be consulting London Transport and the boroughs on the additional facilities that might be provided to assist buses and bus users without jeopardising safety.
