Captain ARTHUR EVANS:
39.asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consult with the county authority concerned on the question of the improvement of Llandough Hill, Glamorgan, as in its present narrow state it is extremely dangerous to motorists and pedestrians alike?
Mr Leslie Hore-Belisha
, Plymouth, Devonport
A considerable improvement to the road referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend was effected when Leckwith Bridge and its approaches were opened to traffic a short time ago. I am in consultation with the county authority regarding the further improvement of this hill, the name of which I will not attempt to pronounce.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
