Is the Minister aware that the recent approval of the east London river crossing is controversial in that it does not include an extension to the docklands light railway? Does he agree that a six-lane motorway from outer south London and Kent into the docklands including Canary wharf, will bring greatly increased traffic through Newham, with queues, accidents and conceivably death to the people of the borough? Would not it be sensible to extend the docklands light railway from Beckton across the bridge into Thamesmead and north Kent?
