HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 c1114W
Mr. MORLEY

asked the Minister of Transport if he will consider the construction of a tunnel under or, alternatively, a bridge over the River Itchen between Southampton and Woolston in place of the present floating bridge as one of the schemes for the increase of employment and development of national resources?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The responsibility for the initiation of works of this nature rests primarily upon the local authorities concerned. If a well-considered scheme is submitted to me, I will certainly give it careful consideration.
