§ Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the Minister of Transport (1) if the Ministry has yet decided which sections of the Kingston by-pass road they are prepared to recommend, and which, if any, have proved unsatisfactory; and when the report on the stability of the various surfacing materials will be published;
(2) if any figures are available showing the particular sections of the Kingston by-pass road on which skidding has been most frequent; and what complaints have been received from road users regarding any particular stretch of the road?
Mr. STANLEYI assume that both questions refer to test lengths which were laid on this road in September, 1930. No complaint has been received concerning these sections, and none of them has proved unsatisfactory. Interim reports included in the official publication entitled "Experimental Work on Roads" deal with the anti-skidding properties and the stability of the materials under test.
