Mr. WEST RUSSELLasked the Minister of Transport whether he has received the engineer's report with regard to the proposed bridge or tunnel across the Tyne between Tynemouth and South Shields; and whether he is now in a position to make a statement on the matter?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI have received the engineer's report upon the proposed bridge. It is necessary that borings should be made before further action can be taken, and a tender has recently been accepted for making the borings.
