35. Mr. W. M. ADAMSONasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the condition of the crown and approaches of railway bridges on main roads in South Staffordshire; whether he is aware that the railway companies refuse to keep these roads in ordinary repair; and, if he possesses insufficient powers to enforce maintenance in proper condition to meet existing traffic, will he introduce regulations to meet the position?
§ Mr. GOSLINGIf my hon. Friend will give me particulars of the bridges in South Staffordshire to which the complaints refer, I will have inquiry made into the circumstances and see whether any action can usefully be taken.
