Member for Thirsk and Malton may expect to receive a reply to his letter of 21 May and 22 October 1982, addressed to the Department of the Environment's regional office in Leeds, concerning the claim of Mr. E. W. Barnett, of Rising Sun farm, Topcliffe Common, Thirsk, for alleged vibration damage arising from the A168 Boroughbridge to Thirsk road; and if he will make a statement.
