§ 38. Brigadier Petoasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the plan for the reconstruction of the roads and bridges through Lynmouth is still awaiting his approval, and that this delay will cause distress and loss of trade; and whether he will make an early decision in this matter.
Mr. BraithwaiteThe reconstruction of roads and bridges forms part of the more comprehensive plans for the restoration of this area. Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend would await an answer from my right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government to the wider Question on this subject, which he has down for tomorrow.
§ Brigadier PetoDoes it mean that the Ministry of Transport has no responsibility in the matter or that it has passed on the baby to other Ministries?
