Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions he has had with (a) developers and (b) other
interested parties concerning proposals to build an inhabited bridge across the Thames in central London.[28710]
Mr. Gummer: As Minister for London, I have had numerous discussions about the idea that an inhabited bridge across the Thames could
once again be built in London.
It is the Government's policy to encourage ideas which can help bring new life and activity back to the River Thames corridor, an
aspiration which is clearly very widely shared.
The idea of a new inhabited bridge in London deserves wide consideration. I have therefore particularly welcomed the initiative by
the Royal Academy to stage a major public exhibition in September which will explore the long European tradition of inhabited
bridges. I have also welcomed its announcement of an architectural ideas competition, the results of which will form apart of the
exhibition, and have agreed to be a member of its judging panel for this competition. It is to be hoped that the Royal Academy's
exhibition and competition will enable the possibilities to be more thoroughly aired and debated among Londoners and all those with
an interest in the future of London.
In view of my involvement in the matter, I will take no part in any decision, relating to an inhabited bridge, which may
subsequently need to be taken in the name of the Secretary of State for the Environment. Any such decision will be taken by my right
hon. friend the Minister for Construction, Planning and Energy Conservation.
