HC Deb 02 November 1966 vol 735 c93W
67. Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will introduce legislation to make financial help available for the building of roads in agricultural areas on the lines of the help available under the Agricultural Improvement of Roads Act, 1955.

Mr. John Mackie

No, but the Agriculture Bill now before the House provides for the setting up of Rural Development Boards in the hills and uplands and the provision and improvement of rural roads would be among the facilities that a Board could grant-aid.
