§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the delay and expense to local traders and the serious traffic block caused during the summer months by the continued operation of the Hayling Island Road Toll Bridge and what steps he proposes to take to mitigate this in the coming months.
§ Mr. BarnesI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on 16th February to the hon. Member for Fareham (Sir D. White). The initiative in any proposal to free this bridge from tolls must come from the local authorities concerned.
