HC Deb 24 May 1946 vol 423 c116W
Mr. Granville

asked the Secretary of State for War if, in view of the position of isolation of the inhabitants of the village of Walberswick, he will consider making available to them a Bailey Bridge as was erected for training purposes during the war.

Mr. Barnes

I have been asked to reply. I understand that the East Suffolk County Council are considering what is the best way of providing a crossing of the River Blyth at Walberswick, and will take into account the possibility of using a Bailey Bridge. If that proves to be a practicable proposition and the County Council submit a satisfactory scheme my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Supply, will be able to make a Bailey Bridge available from stocks which have now been declared surplus by the War Office.
