§ 44. Mr. Anthony Nuttingasked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the danger to public safety of the projected Thurmaston by-pass road in Leicestershire; and if he will reconsider the alternative proposal to construct this by-pass round the western side of the village.
§ Mr. BarnesThe alternative proposal for a by-pass to the west of Thurmaston was reconsidered when the road became a trunk road on 1st April, 1946. The conclusion was that such a location is not possible because of the low lying nature of the ground. When the proposed bypass comes to be constructed, full regard will be had to safety considerations.
§ Mr. NuttingDoes the right hon. Gentleman realise that his right hon. Friend the Minister of Health is permitting houses to be erected on this very piece of land where he refuses to allow a by-pass?
