§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the fact that he has recently issued a circular to all highway authorities drawing their attention to the need and facilities for freeing toll roads and bridges, he proposes to take any steps towards freeing from toll the Menai Bridge?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThe question of reducing the tolls on this bridge is kept constantly under review. Substantial reductions were effected as from 1st June, 1928, but in view of the special character and age of the structure, I consider that tolls should be charged to meet the current cost of maintenance and to provide a reserve fund for renewal.
