Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what repairs have recently been made to the Hay-on-Wye, Clyro Bridge; and whether it is now 50W possible to increase the weight restriction from 2½tons.
§ Mr. MolsonThe repairs which have been carried out are minor repairs to the superstructure of the bridge. They were necessary for the continued use of the bridge at the present weight limit, which, I am advised, could not be relaxed with safety.
Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the present position with regard to the erection of a new bridge over the River Wye between Hay-on-Wye and Clyro.
§ Mr. MolsonMy right hon. Friend has approved the appointment by the Radnorshire and Breconshire County Councils of consulting engineers to design a new bridge.
