HC Deb 20 July 1960 vol 627 c488
37. Mr. Denzil Freeth

asked the Minister of Transport what plans he has for improving A.34 between Newbury and Sutton Scotney.

The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport (Mr. John Hay)

Several short widening schemes have recently been completed and work is now proceeding on another. We are planning to continue this series of improvements, including in the near future a re-alignment at Bullington cross-roads and the construction of a roundabout there.

Mr. Freeth

While thanking my hon. Friend for these improvements which have been made, may I ask him whether he will pay particular attention to the number of narrow railway bridges on this stretch of road which pass over the road and also to the unsatisfactory state of the Tothill railway bridge where the road passes over the railway and where the propping up is said to be unsatisfactory?

Mr. Hay

I will take note of my hon. Friend's observations.
