§ 43. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that many 2217 local authorities are now engaged in the annual tarring of roads and that this work is carried out in the crudest possible manner; and will he make representations to such authorities suggesting that greater care be exercised when covering roads with tar, so as to avoid the damage at present being caused to the carriage work of vehicles using the roads?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI think that, generally speaking, tar-dressing is carried out with due regard to the convenience of road users, but if the hon. and gallant Member will let me have details of specific instances to the contrary, I will gladly have them investigated so that, if necessary, representations may be made to any authorities that are at fault.
§ Mr. R. S. HUDSONHas my hon. and gallant Friend had occasion lately to pass down the Fulham Road and to see its condition?
§ Colonel ASHLEYIf my hon. Friend will give me the details of the case he has in mind, I will at once have it investigated?
