HC Deb 10 February 1954 vol 523 cc1161-2
21. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether his attention has been called to the transport difficulties on Humberside; and what plans have been submitted for new bridges for Hull.

Mr. Molson

Yes, Sir. With regard to the second part of the Question, no plans have been submitted to my Department.

Mr. Jeger

Will the Minister undertake to give sympathetic consideration to any proposals which are put to his Department or to him personally for new bridges in Hull?

Mr. Molson

Every proposal isalways received most sympathetically in the Ministry of Transport, but it is not always possible to agree with it.

Mr. Godber

In considering this proposal, will the Minister bear in mind the urgent needs of much better transport facilities for both industry and agriculture in Lincolnshire?

Mr. Molson

The importance of agriculture and industry will both be borne in mind.
