HC Deb 25 March 1941 vol 370 cc449-50W
Captain Strickland

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the experience of the recent snowstorms, he is satisfied that all those highway autho- rities whose roads are liable to be obstructed in winter by falls of snow had provided themselves with adequate modern mechanical appliances for snow clearing; and whether he will instruct his road officers to report specially any instances where such a highway authority had neglected this precaution?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

For the reasons given in my reply to a similar Question put by my hon. Friend on 13th March last, I feel that an instruction on the lines suggested would hardly be justified.
