Mr. RYE (for Mr. EVERARD)asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the serious inconvenience to the inhabitants of Coalville caused by the level crossing at the railway station; and whether he will be prepared to make a grant from the Road Fund if a scheme for building a bridge can be arranged?

Friend will give due consideration to any application they may make for assistance, but he cannot make any definite pledge in the absence of the requisite particulars.
