HC Deb 14 July 1937 vol 326 cc1256-7
67. Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has had before him the two estimates for the construction of the Allanvale bridge over the River Dee; whether he is aware that one tender, which has not been accepted, is £27,000 less than a tender which it has been proposed to accept; and whether he will take steps to satisfy himself, before giving his sanction to the scheme, that the best tender will be accepted?

Mr. Burgin

In circumstances which are unusual the town council has asked for my advice, and the matter is now being investigated by my technical officers.

Mr. Garro Jones

May I have an answer to the last part of the question?

Mr. Burgin

As the whole matter has been submitted to me for advice and the request was received on 12th July, I cannot add to the answer for the moment.
