§ 12 and 26. Mr. George Thomasasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation (1) when he replied to the communication from the Cardiff City Council concerning the banning of heavy traffic from the Taff Mead Embankment, Cardiff; and whether he will make a statement;
(2) why he refused the application of the Cardiff Transport Committee for an order to restrict heavy vehicles from using Taff Mead Embankment, Cardiff; and whether, in view of the superior knowledge of the local authority in this matter, he will now reverse his decision.
§ Mr. NugentOn 2nd April the Cardiff City Council sought the preliminary views of the divisional road engineer on a draft order prohibiting the use of Taff Mead Embankment by heavy vehicles. The proposal has since been the subject of correspondence between the council and the divisional road engineer, who has not yet received from the council all the information he needs in order to advise us. The city council has not yet applied for confirmation of an order.
