HC Deb 08 February 1926 vol 191 c644
98. Mr. HAYES

asked the Minister of Transport what are the total sums required for road-work schemes already drawn up under the following heads: maintenance of existing roads, construction of new roads and bridges, the removal of dangerous corners, and the widening of roads which have become inadequate for the increased volume of traffic?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)

I am not in possession of particulars of all road and bridge schemes and other improvement proposals drawn up by the highway authorities of the country, and cannot therefore say what their total cost would be.
