HC Deb 18 November 1997 vol 301 c127W
41. Jane Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on the agreement by Reading and Oxfordshire councils concerning a third Thames crossing. [14884]

Ms Glenda Jackson

We welcome the announcement that Oxfordshire and Berkshire Local Authorities are to commission a joint, wide-ranging study of travel across the Thames in the Reading area. I understand that the study will identify issues and possible solutions, which may, or may not, include proposals for a third crossing.
