HC Deb 07 December 1926 vol 200 c1891
37. Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the state of the surface of the new Sutton by-pass road; and what action he is prepared to take?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)

I understand that this matter, which has been previously brought to my notice, is receiving the attention of the Surrey County Council, who are responsible for the construction and maintenance of the road.

Colonel DAY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this road is so bad that very few motorists use it, and that they mostly go by High Street, Sutton?

Colonel ASHLEY

I have just informed the hon. Gentleman that the Surrey County Council are dealing with the matter.
