33. Sir Francis Fremantle

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will arrange that highway authorities outside the London Civil Defence Region will adopt the ruling of the London Region to bear the cost of reinstatement of bomb-craters and of openings by public utility undertakings for the inspection of subsurface works near such craters?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

It will be arranged that public utility undertakers outside the London Civil Defence Region whose pipes or mains laid under highways are damaged by enemy action shall be relieved of the cost of reinstating the highway after repairing their property.
