§ 53. Miss Burtonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what reply he has sent to the Coventry District Committee of the Transport and General Workers Union following their representations for emergency safety measures on the Birmingham road between Meriden and Allesley.
§ Mr. NugentI am investigating this matter, and hope to send a reply very shortly. I will send a copy of this letter to the hon. Member.
§ Miss BurtonIs the Minister aware that, even without my seeing that reply, it is clear that this has dragged on for some considerable time, and that if on every occasion it is brought forward by this union the answer is to be that a reply will be sent some time, we are likely to have many more accidents before that reply arrives?
§ Mr. NugentThe road work is really very well advanced there, and I think that the hon. Lady will be quite satisfied when she hears the detailed reply.
