§ 2. Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Transport how many accidents have occurred at the Henley Bridge since the Henley one-way scheme has been in operation and when it is likely that the dangerous gradients will be altered.
§ Mr. BarnesThere have been eight accidents here since the trial one-way scheme started in August, 1947. Only one accident resulted in personal injury. If the one-way system is made permanent, a scheme to ease the gradient at this corner will be put in hand.
§ Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Transport whether he is satisfied that there are sufficient safety precautions in fog to protect traffic on the Oxford-Maidenhead trunk road where the road heads straight for the river at Henley-on-Thames and where there is no adequate barrier.
§ Mr. BarnesYes. There are guard posts with red reflectors, and modern portable fog flares are available.
