HC Deb 03 May 1995 vol 259 c212W
Mr. Austin-Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the importance of the proposed Woolwich metro to the east Thames gateway strategy. [22372]

Mr. Norris

The proposals are at an early stage. But, as indicated in the draft Thames gateway planning framework, the metro concept could assist regeneration by extending potential labour markets.
