asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make inquiries into the delay which has occurred since his promise to mount pelican crossing traffic lights on a gantry spanning Broad Lane at the junction of Talbot Road, London, N.15; and if he will now make a statement as to when this work will be completed.

I understand that the Haringey London Borough Council will shortly be seeking quotation for the work, which is expected to be completed later this year. The reasons for the delay are complex. I am writing to the hon. Member.
