HC Deb 24 June 1930 vol 240 c984W
Colonel LANE FOX

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will, during the necessarily lengthy discussions by the local authorities concerned in producing a scheme for the reconstruction or replacement of the broken bridge at Selby, press that more adequate steps be taken to meet the hardship involved to over 2,000 persons in Selby whose only means of daily access to their work in the mills across the river now is one small and overcrowded boat?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given on 5th June to a similar question asked by the hon. and gallant Member for the Howdenshire Division (Major Carver). I may add that on 17th June a deputation from the local authorities concerned was received by the Parliamentary Secretary of my Department, when every aspect of the problem was discussed.
