Dr. Bennettasked the Minister of Transport why he refused permission to the Fareham Urban District Council to complete its section of the road from Peel Common to Lee-on-the-Solent at the same time as the section built by the Gosport Borough Council; if he is aware of the sharp and unlit transition from a broad straight road to a narrow winding switchback that has resulted; and if he will accelerate permission for this work.
§ Mr. MarplesThe part of the road already built has been provided, mainly at the Government's expense, as a substitute for two roads closed under Defence Regulations during the war.
I have so far been unable to find a place in the programme for the Hampshire County Council's scheme to improve the existing part of the road in Fareham, but I hope to include it at an early date.
