§ 86. Sir COOPER RAWSONasked the Minister of Transport whether there is within easy access of the House of Commons, so that Members may inspect it, an example of the new thin road carpet which his engineers hope will provide a durable non-skid surface; and of what materials it chiefly consists?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Captain Austin Hudson)For the specifications I cannot do better than refer my hon. Friend to "Experimental Work on Roads, 1934," of which I am sending him a copy. The nearest site is the Oxford-Henley Road near Newnham Courtenay.
§ Mr. LYONSIs an experiment now being carried out in Great George Street and is the experiment being made with British granite? Also, will the hon. and gallant Member ask the local authorites to consider the use of British granite in preference to any other?
§ Captain HUDSONI think that question had better be put on the Paper.
