§ Mr. Higginsasked the Secretary of State for Transport when he intends to publish the report on the state of bridges in relation to the new bridge assessment code.
§ Mr. MooreI am publishing today the report on a sample survey of bridges on local authority roads. A copy has been placed in the Library. I am grateful for the cooperation of all the major public bridge owners and for their help in producing this useful report; I shall now be seeking their comments on the findings.
