Mr. T. MORRISasked the Minister of Transport whether any particular road surface is now being recommended to local authorities by his Department and, in that case, whether he can state its nature?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe selection of surfacing materials is primarily the responsibility of highway authorities for whose guidance experiments have been conducted and reports issued by my Technical Advisory Committee dealing with several kinds of materials which have been successfully used for this purpose.
Mr. MORRISasked the Minister of Transport whether he can now make any detailed statement with regard to the 11 experimental lengths on the Kingston by-pass road; and whether any lesson yet can be derived from their use?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHADetailed information concerning these experimental sections has been incorporated in the reports issued annually by my Department entitled "Experimental Work on Roads."
