HC Deb 19 April 1967 vol 745 c84W
75. Sir B. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport what is her policy towards the facing of bridges for which he is responsible, or over which she has control, with concrete or granite; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend does not consider the added cost of masking structural concrete in highway bridges within her responsibility or control is normally warranted. Her approval to the use of facings in special cases has full regard to the extra expense involved.
