HC Deb 23 November 1992 vol 214 cc525-6W
22. Mr. Cyril D. Townsend

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when work will start on the east London river crossing.

Mr. Norris

We hope to be able to start work soon on this important scheme. However, construction cannot begin until the current High Court challenges and the question of the EC infraction proceedings have been resolved. In the meantime, we are pressing on with detailed design and other advance work.
