HC Deb 21 December 1960 vol 632 c158W
Mr. Goodhew

asked the Minister of Transport to give, expressed in vehicle-miles, the rates for fatal acidents, injury accidents, for fatalities and persons injured, respectively, for the M.1, M.10 and M.45 route and for all-purpose rural roads.

Mr. Marples

The following is the information for M.1, M.10 and M.45:

report from Aberdeen Harbour Commissioners that the replacement of Nos. 2 and 3 pontoon docks at Aberdeen, the absence of which is increasing unemployment there, should be entirely financed out of public funds.

Mr. Hay

Her Majesty's Government do not accept the views expressed in the report about the need for replacement of the largest pontoon dock at a cost of £500,000. Nor do they consider that the conditions laid down in the Local Employment Act, 1960, would permit the cost of dock No. 2 being entirely financed from Government funds.
