HC Deb 09 May 1973 vol 856 c112W
Mr. Woof

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made by the British Waterways Board since it was made responsible under Section 117 of the Transport Act 1968 for bringing substandard public road bridges in its ownership to the required strength.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

Of the 518 such bridges found to be substandard, 209 have been strengthened as necessary and work on 309 has still to be completed.
