HC Deb 29 January 1929 vol 224 c752
27. Miss WILKINSON

asked the Minister of Transport what is the position with regard to the projected bridge over the River Tees at Middlesbrough?

Colonel ASHLEY

I understand that on the 13th December last, at a conference of the public bodies concerned, a resolution was passed recommending the construction of a bridge rather than a tunnel.

Miss WILKINSON

Is the Ministry of Transport doing anything to expedite this project?

Colonel ASHLEY

It is for the local authorities to consider this project, and then, if they wish to construct the bridge, to put forward an application to the Ministry.
