§ Mr. SandysNo. The status of the progress chaser has already been examined and no justification found for any change. The duties and authority of the two grades are not the same.
96. Mr. Norman Smithasked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the damage caused to property by the passage of tanks from the Royal Ordnance 83W Factory, Nottingham, along built-up public roads, he will adopt for test purposes the road on the waste land to the west of the factory.
§ Mr. SandysThe possibility of using this road is being investigated with the help of the city engineer. If so, a means of access would have to be provided and improvements made to the road.
