§ 20. Sir H. Harrisonasked the Minister of Transport when he hopes to replace the railway level-crossing at Darsham on the A.12 road by a bridge.
§ Mr. MarplesI cannot say when this scheme is likely to be included in the Trunk Road Programme. Its cost is high, and its value to traffic small compared with many other schemes.
§ Sir H. HarrisonIs my right hon. Friend aware that his reply will be very disappointing to people of East Suffolk'? They wonder why a great deal of money has been spent on widening bridges at Saxmundham and Martlesham on this road which did not impede traffic.
§ Mr. MarplesI will look into the question of the bridges which have been widened, but if contracts have been started it would be difficult to stop them. Everyone thinks that his own particular scheme is of greater value than that of anyone else.
