§ 90. Major HARVEYasked the Minister of Transport if he proposes to take any steps in order to remedy the existing situation in regard to road communications with Hallsands?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThese roads are at present maintainable by the Kingsbridge Urban District Council. The county council will become the responsible authority as from the 1st April next, and I am informed that consideration will then be given to their improvement.
§ Major HARVEYAre not these roads maintained by the Kingsbridge Rural District Council?
§ Mr. MORRISONI am advised that they are at present maintained by the Kingsbridge Urban District Council.
§ Major HARVEYIs the hon. Gentleman aware that they are about nine miles from Kingsbridge, and cannot possibly be within the area of the urban district council. I think there must be some misapprehension.
§ Mr. MORRISONIt is always possible that there may be a mistake, but that is the only answer that I have this afternoon. If I am in error, I will advise the hon. and gallant Member.
