§ Mr. Neaveasked the Minister of Transport why the East Ilsley Parish Council have received no acknowledgement or reply from his Department to their telegram and registered letter concerning an accident on 9th May which rendered a family homeless; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MarplesAn acknowledgement was sent to the Parish Council's letter but not, I regret, to the telegram. A reply has not yet been sent because the matter has been the subject of correspondence and discussion with my hon. Friend. On the problem generally, I have nothing to add to my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary's statement on the Adjournment. An official reply is now being sent to the Parish Council.
