§ Mr. Anstruther-Grayasked the Minister of Transport how long the main road from south to north, a quarter of a mile south of Newhouse cross-roads, Lanarkshire, has been closed to traffic; and when it is expected to be re-opened?
§ Mr. BurginThe section of road on which subsidence has occurred has been 943W closed to traffic since the 19th January, 1938, and I am now informed that the county council consider it impracticable to carry out effective repairs until the mineral workings thereunder have ceased. The question of constructing a short diversion connecting A.73 and A.723 to provide for north-south traffic is being considered.
