HC Deb 17 November 1971 vol 826 c158W
Dr. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will carry out an investigation to establish the average number of man-hours per day which are lost as a result of delays on the way to work by employees travelling along Bridge Street, Goole, because bridges along that road are closed to traffic.

Mr. Bryan

Since it is for the highway authority to decide what, if anything, needs to be done to reduce delays to traffic, I do not consider it would be appropriate for my Department to initiate an investigation of the kind proposed.
