§ 8. Viscount Hinchingbrookeasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Gallows Hill-Worgret Road in the Wareham-Bovington area is practically impassable for vehicles; that the Dorset County Council cannot undertake to repair the road unless he will give assurances that it will not again be used by tanks; and whether he will reach some settlement with the county council in order that the road may be again used by the public without risk of accident.
§ Mr. ShinwellI regret that I cannot give the assurance asked for, but the repair of this road is under consideration in consultation with the Ministry of Transport.
§ Viscount HinchingbrookeDoes the right hon. Gentleman realise that this matter has been under consideration with the Ministry of Transport for some months now, that this road, as its name implies, is becoming something of a death trap, and will he give special consideration to the possibility of renovating it within the next few months?
§ Mr. ShinwellI certainly will take into account the views of the noble Lord, but I understand that this road gives access to a tank training area and difficulties may arise. However, I will look into the matter.
