§ 40. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the Minister of Transport to what extent the arrangements made, in the 22 light of last winter's experience, for clearing roads and railways of heavy snowfalls have proved successful during the past few days.
§ Mr. BarnesConditions during the past week have not been unduly severe but the preparations made enabled the situation to be tackled with speed and efficiency and no serious or prolonged blockages occurred.
§ Sir T. MooreThe right hon. Gentleman will appreciate that this Question was put down before Spring arrived.
§ Mr. BarnesI want to thank the hon. and gallant Gentleman for enabling me to make that statement.
