HC Deb 27 October 1965 vol 718 c64W
54. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the state of the Newcastle section of the coast road under the alterations at present in operation, he will take steps to ensure the safety of the travelling public and workmen on the site.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The Newcastle County Borough Council, as highway authority, is responsible for the works in progress on this section of the coast road. I am sure that the Council has well in mind the need for safety precautions.
