HC Deb 03 May 1950 vol 474 cc195-6W
70. Mr. Wills

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will give instructions to the contractors who are trenching and cable laying on the Minehead—Willitone—Taunton Road—A.358 to reinstate the road in an adequate manner after this operation; and whether he will ensure that this is done before the present danger to road users is increased by the large volume of tourist traffic using the road.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Post Office contractors are required under their contracts to restore the road to as good a condition as it was in before it was opened up. I hope the work on the Minehead—Taunton Road will be completed in about six weeks' time.
