HC Deb 29 June 1948 vol 452 c199W
Mr. Granville

asked the Minister of Transport if he is now prepared to make a statement with regard to his meeting with the Havant Council to discuss the abolition of toll charges on the Hayling bridge.

Mr. Barnes

My Divisional Road Engineer is discussing this question on Monday, 28th June, with officers of the Hampshire County Council and the Havant and Waterloo Urban District Council.

Mr. Granville

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the serious traffic bottleneck caused by the collection of fees at the Hayling Island bridge; and if he will take steps to free this wooden railed bridge from further toll dues.

Mr. Barnes

I would refer the hon. Member to the answers which I gave to him on 23rd February and to the hon. Member for Fareham (Sir D. White) on 16th February.
