§ 81. Mr. Jegerasked the Minister of Transport whether he proposes to hold further open competitions with large money prizes for bridge designs; and to what extent he proposes to use his own consulting engineers for this work.
§ Mr. MarplesI do not intend to hold regular competitions, though occasionally it may be desirable to follow this method to stimulate interest and new ideas. The design of structures on roads for which I am responsible will continue to be undertaken to my approval either by the Highway Authority acting as my agent or by such consulting engineer as I appoint.
