A Committee of the House of Cum- mons has approved the preamble of a bill to authorise the carrying out of the Victoria Dock-road scheme,
At a cost of £2,518,000, the project will relieve traffic in the dock area from a tangle of level crossings, ob- solete bridges, and awkward turnings, which have not only crippled road transport, but, it was stated, have hampered the industrial development of the area.
The Ministry of Transport will con- tribute £1,888,000 towards the cost, and, local authorities in and around
