HC Deb 15 July 1930 vol 241 cc1104-5
58. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Transport if he has yet received the engineer's report on the construction of a bridge over the Tamar?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Herbert Morrison)

I have just received the engineer's report, and I am causing copies to be sent to the Devon County Council, the Plymouth City Council, and the Great Western Railway Company for their observations.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Will the right hon. Gentleman be good enough to let me see a copy?

Mr. MORRISON

If the hon. Member will communicate with me, I will try to arrange it. The number of copies is very limited.

Mr. MOSES

Does that apply to each Member for the city of Plymouth?

Mr. MORRISON

Certainly, we should not treat any hon. Member for Plymouth less courteously than other hon. Members.

Mr. FOOT

Will the right hon. Gentleman take into consideration the fact that the linking up of the counties of Devon and Cornwall make it necessary for the Cornish Members also to have copies?
