HC Deb 02 May 1934 vol 289 cc303-4
30. Colonel ROPNER

asked the Minister of Transport if he can now make any statement with regard to the possibility of an early start being made with the construction of a new bridge at Selby?

Mr. STANLEY

I have agreed to make a grant from the Road Fund towards the cost of preparation of surveys and a report by a consulting engineer as to the most desirable route for a by-pass to include a new bridge over the River Ouse, near Selby. Until the surveys are completed and the report received, I cannot make any statement as to the possibility of an early start being made with construction work.
