§ 56. Sir W. SUGDENasked the Minister of Transport if he is prepared to call a conference of experts for the purpose of considering the practical utilisation of compound rubber-paving on certain roads and crossings in order to obviate the damage to valuable modern, as well as ancient, buildings caused by heavy swift-moving commercial vehicles passing along such roads and crossings now built with either concrete or granite facings?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZONAs the staff of the Ministry keep under constant observation the experiments that are being made in the utilisation of rubber as a paving material, it is not considered necessary to call the suggested conference.
