§ Mr. DONNERasked the Minister of Transport, whether, in view of the narrowness of the road across the Hartford Bridge Flats on the Camberley-Basingstoke Road, he is aware of the danger to motorists owing to the exposed nature of the country and the frequent gusts 1865W of wind which drive cars sideways and across the road; and whether he will take steps either to widen this road or to build a separate highway parallel to the present road in order to separate outward and incoming traffic?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHANo scheme for widening this road has been submitted to me, but I understand that the Southampton County Council has under consideration the construction of a second carriageway in the near future.
§ Mr. DONNERasked the Minister of Transport, whether he can state the number of accidents and the number of persons killed and injured separately during each of the last four years on the Hartford Bridge Flats on the Camberley-Basingstoke Road?
