Captain Sir Herbert Latham: I know that there is one there, and it is needed, and I am not sure that the Minister will not have to help the St. John's Ambulance Brigade to put a few more there if he is going to do nothing to that road. There we have a local case of a through road which is a perfect case for action by the Ministry. It is very disappointing to find that nothing is to be done in the case of this road when...

Captain Sir Herbert Latham: Will not all that involve further expenditure and more disputes, and give to this, beautiful country an aspect of an industrial area?
Captain Sir Herbert Latham: 52. asked the Minister of Transport what is the cost of the electricity pylons between Malton and Whitby under the schemes submitted for his consent by the Electricity Commissioners? This question ought not to be on the Order Paper before Question No. 53.
