HC Deb 08 December 1936 vol 318 cc1846-7W
Mr. LIDDALL

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that before May, 1936, many persons were killed and injured on the Kingston bypass road; will he find out why the Surrey County Council has not yet made the necessary alterations although between May and September, 1936, there were 100 non-fatal accidents and two fatal accidents, and that three more persons were killed between the 13th and 22nd November last; and whether he will order the closing of the Kingston by-pass until the Surrey County Council has made alterations to render it less unsuitable for motor traffic?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I have already indicated a grant for part of the improvement scheme and the necessary preliminary work is in hand.
