42. Major Braithwaiteasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the serious condition of many important roads in the country; and whether he will take steps to keep the repairs going, to enable road users to travel to their work without damaging their machines?
§ The Minister of Transport (Lieut. -Colonel Moore-Brabazon)I am aware of the heavy strain imposed upon the roads as a result of war conditions, but know of no important routes in the condition my hon. and gallant Friend implies. If he will tell me where they are, I will have them inspected.
