HC Deb 14 November 1949 vol 469 cc167-8W
76. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now agree to rebuild the Pilley Bridge, Cheltenham, destroyed by enemy action in 1940, as the absence of a bridge causes waste of petrol, inconvenience and annoyance.

Mr. Barnes

I appreciate the considerations to which the hon. Member refers, but regret that, in present circumstances, the construction of a new vehicular bridge must continue to be postponed.
