§ 39. Mr. Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Transport whether he will now give a date on which the five pedestrian crossings in Huyton on the Liverpool-Prescot road will be in working order?
§ Mr. BurginI have recently approved a revised scheme providing for the establishment of the five crossings referred to by my hon. Friend. I understand that the Huyton-with-Roby Urban District Council have already put the necessary works in hand.
§ Mr. PilkingtonCan the right hon. Gentleman give the actual date when they will be ready? At the moment they are half-begun and not finished, and no work is going on, but accidents are still occurring on that road.
§ Mr. BurginIn reply to that further inquiry I could not give an actual date, but it is my desire that work be proceeded with as rapidly as possible.
