§ 110. Captain Marsdenasked the Minister of Transport whether he will reconsider the decision to reduce the labour force employed on road repair in the Chertsey Division of Surrey, so that the estimated amount of work considered essential for 1948–49, for the maintenance of safe surfaces for road transport may be carried out.
§ Mr. BarnesI have asked the Surrey County Council to make an appropriate contribution towards the total reduction of 20,000 required in the labour force employed by highway authorities. It is for the county council to determine what share is to be borne by the Chertsey Division.
