§ Mr. Denmanasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the proposed loop-road south of Keswick; whether he is aware that this proposal is condemned by all persons and bodies especially concerned with the beauty of the Lake District; and whether he will refuse to sanction the scheme as such an area should not be permanently injured for the purpose of avoiding seasonal traffic congestion?
§ Mr. BurginI am aware of the proposal to which the hon. Member refers. I caused a public inquiry to be held recently at Keswick and the inspector's report is not yet available.
