HC Deb 26 April 1934 vol 288 c1869
81. Mr. DUNCAN GRAHAM

asked the Minister of Transport if he has had any representations from structural engineers with respect to the need for strengthening the many weak bridges in the country; and whether, in view of the serious depression in the steel industry, his Department will take any action in support of such representations?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

I have received such representations and I had previously urged, and am continuing to urge, highway authorities to take advantage of the grants offered from the Road Fund for the strengthening and reconstruction of weak bridges.
