§ Brigadier Medlicottasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the serious loss caused to the public by traffic delays during road repairs; and if he will arrange for road repair work on main London thoroughfares to be done by night as well as by day wherever practicable.
§ Mr. BarnesI am anxious to reduce as far as possible any inconvenience caused by road repairs, but as I have explained in my answer of today to the hon. Member for Sevenoaks (Mr. John Rodgers), there are serious difficulties in the way of doing such work by night.
