§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether he has received any representations from local authorities, directly concerned and interested, in favour of taking in hand the provision of a causeway and bridge across the Duddon estuary; and whether in that case his Department is again investigating the possibilities of the scheme, especially in view of its local utility and its contemplated relief of unemployment?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZONam aware that this scheme has been under consideration by the authorities interested, some of whom have discussed the matter informally with officers of my Department. No definite project has, however, yet been submitted to the Ministry of Transport for investigation.
