HC Deb 28 July 1919 vol 118 cc1830-1W
Captain BROWN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he has received protests from the Hexham Rural District Council against the withdrawal of the indemnity or liability for the repair of roads damaged by timber-leading; and if, in view of the fact that upwards of 65 miles of roads in this district are very seriously damaged and that timber-leading will contine for at least two or three years more, he will consider the withdrawal of the indemnity until such time as the claims of the council can be fully met?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am making inquiries, and will write, to my hon. and gallant Friend as soon as possible.
