HC Deb 04 December 1919 vol 122 cc638-9W
Mr. J. DAVISON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the difficulty being experienced in Edmonton and district in obtaining supplies of broken granite, cement, and coal; that broken granite is required for the repair of roads; that the delay in delivery of cement is preventing necessary work being executed; and that the shortage of coal is causing considerable hardship on the people of the district; and whether action will be taken at once to improve transport conditions?

Sir A. WARREN

asked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been directed to a communication from the Edmonton Urban District Council calling attention to the difficulty which is being experienced in obtaining delivery of broken granite, cement, and coal in that district; and what steps he proposes to take to expedite delivery?

Mr. NEAL

The reply is in the affirmative, and I am making further inquiries. Every effort will be made to improve the attitude.
