HC Deb 21 November 1956 vol 560 cc1730-1
31. Mr. J. Harrison

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will make a statement on the negotiations being conducted between his Department and the Corporation of Nottingham regarding the connecting main roads to the new Trent Bridge at Clifton, Nottingham.

Mr. Molson

When in Nottingham in connection with the road safety campaign, I was shown the site of the proposed road. At my invitation, a memorandum dealing with the project has now been sent to me and the Department is now examining it.

Mr. Harrison

Is the Minister aware that, while this project is of local importance, it is also of immense importance to the national road network? Will he bear in mind that aspect of the matter when he is considering the whole affair?

Mr. Molson

I can assure the hon. Gentleman that the town clerk and the surveyor impressed all these arguments upon me when they showed me the site.
