§ Mr. R. J. Taylorasked the Minister of Transport when the new Bebside-Furnace Bridge is to be commenced?
§ Mr. BurginA grant of 50 per cent. was issued in June, 1937, towards the cost, estimated at £69,000, of constructing a new road including a new bridge over the River Blyth. I cannot say when work on this bridge will be commenced. Negotiations for land acquisition are still proceeding and final details are being prepared by the Northumberland County Council. There need be no delay.
