HC Deb 12 July 1926 vol 198 c57W
Major COLFOX

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will arrange with all the local authorities concerned to press forward the construction of the new road between Lyme Regis and Char-mouth, in view of the accidents which are increasing in number and severity occurring under present conditions?

Colonel ASHLEY

I understand that the county council desire, on grounds of economy, to defer the execution of this work for the present. I am not prepared to interfere in a decision of the county council on this point, but I will discuss the matter with the authorities.
