asked the Minister of Transport if he can now indicate which level crossings over the main arterial roads he proposes to deal with; when work will be commenced in each case; which level crossings he desires to approach the railway companies about; and what is the attitude of the railway companies towards the proposal generally?

Until negotiations now in progress with highway authorities are more advanced, I am unable to give the Noble Lord the detailed information for which he asks.

May we take it that the Minister will use every effort to press ahead with this during the Recess, and that it will not be pigeonholed and allowed to be forgotten?
