Redevelopment Scheme (Stratford Broadway) 27 and 28. Mr. Arthur Lewis asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) when he received the communication dated 12th April, from the hon. Member for West Ham, North, together with a Press cutting from the Stratford Express concerning the Stratford, East London, Redevelopment Scheme; what reply he has sent; and whether he will make a statement;(2) when the first steps were taken in connection with the proposed Stratford, East London, Redevelopment Scheme; when the Scheme is likely to commence; and whether he will make a statement. Mr. Crossman The Stratford Broadway proposals, on which an inquiry was held towards the end of 1962, raised policy issues of wide significance. In particular, the amount of office space and the line of a new docks relief road could not be settled without consultation with the Government Departments and the other local authorities concerned. I understand that agreement has now been reached between the Greater London Council and the London Borough of Newham on a new route for the road. As I told my hon. Friend when I wrote to him last week, I am now in a position to consult the local authorities on my proposed modifications to the plan, and the remaining statutory procedures leading up to a decision will be taken as quickly as possible.
