§ 67. Mr. T. SMITHasked the Minister of Transport whether the authorities concerned have come to an agreement with regard to the proposed bridge over the River Ouse at Boothferry; if so, whether there is any hope of the work being commenced in the near future; and, if no agreement has been arrived at, will he endeavour to secure agreement in view of the necessity for the bridge in the interest of the convenience of the public and the trade of the district?
§ Mr. GOSLINGTenders will, I hope, very shortly be invited for the construction of this bridge, and as soon as the cost is thus ascertained, a final conference of the local authorities concerned will be convened, in order that the terms of the agreement which have been under discussion may be confirmed and the work promptly begun.
