HC Deb 13 June 1977 vol 933 cc46-7W
Mr. Eyre

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will set up an inquiry into the safety of inner ring road construction in Birmingham.

Mr. William Rodgers

It appears to me that the West Midlands County Council and the Birmingham City Council which are together responsible for this road are taking all necessary measures to deal with the situation. Officers of the two authorities are jointly investigating the problem and are to present their report to both councils on 21st June. The Department is in close contact and expects to receive a copy of the report when prepared.
