HC Deb 03 November 1965 vol 718 c176W
72. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the delay in the start of construction of the Thorne by-pass, he will arrange for the building of a temporary bridge over the canal at Thorne.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. A temporary bridge would not give value for money. The power-operated gates which I am providing will help to reduce delays here.
