HC Deb 22 December 1954 vol 535 c280W
65. Mr. Spearman

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will arrange for a temporary bridge at Whitby during the month that the main bridge connecting the two parts of the town will be closed for repair, so as to avoid the activities of the town being largely paralysed during this period.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The provision of alternative facilities while the bridge is under repair is a matter in the first instance for the Whitby Urban District Council and the North Riding County Council, but I would consider sympathetically for grant any proposals which they may make to me.
