asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport when the decision reached by the London Passenger Transport Board, in December, 1942, to extend route 74, during peak periods, will be put into operation; and what is the reason for the delay?

There has been difficulty in finding a suitable site for the terminus of the extension, but I am glad to inform my hon. Friend that a site has now been agreed upon and the construction of a lay-by is being put in hand.
