HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 cc1130-1W
Colonel CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Transport if arrangements have been completed with the Northumberland County Council for the freeing of Wylam bridge from tolls; and, if not, how the matter now stands?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

An offer of a grant from the Road Fund was made to the County Council last March; but I am informed that negotiations are still in progress between the County Council and the Bridge Company with respect to the purchase money, and the acceptance of the offer is in abeyance pending their completion.
