§ 33. Viscount CURZONasked the Minister of Transport whether he can take any action to accelerate the repairs to street surfaces in London?
§ Mr. NEALThe execution of repairs to street surfaces in London is a matter entirely for the several local authorities, but representations have been made to these authorities with a view to securing acceleration.
§ Viscount CURZONIs the hon. Gentleman aware that so far it has taken nearly two months to repair one-half of Knights-bridge?
§ Mr. NEALThat is not a question with which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport can deal.
Mr. J. JONESCan the hon. Gentleman tell us if there is any possibility of the poorer local authorities getting financial assistance from the Government to carry out repairs?
