§ 38. Viscount CURZONasked the Minister of Transport how many accidents are known to have occurred on the Great North Road, near Eaton Socon, which are directly attributable to the slippery nature of the road surface immediately after rain; and how many casualties have resulted?
§ Mr. GOSLINGI regret that I have not any information as to the number of accidents from the cause suggested, but I will endeavour, however, to collect whatever particulars are available of any accidents on the length of road indicated and will communicate them to the Noble Lord.
§ Viscount CURZONWill the hon. Gentleman make particular inquiry into the case in which a motor lorry filled with workmen was wrecked, entirely owing to the slippery state of the road, as this was a very serious accident and eight men had to go to hospital as a result?
