HC Deb 19 February 1924 vol 169 c1563W
Viscount EDNAM

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the state of the new London-Maidstone road is so bad as to be practically useless for all traffic; that nothing is being done at present to repair it; and what steps his Department intend to take in the matter?

Mr. GOSLING

The surface of the new sections of this road is of a temporary nature, pending the consolidation of the foundations. Arrangements are being made for placing contracts for the permanent surfacing, and, in the meantime, the Kent County Council, with the assistance of my Department, are effecting repairs.
