§ 25. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEasked the Minister of Transport if he will now consider the construction of the Immingham-Grimsby direct road, having in view the unemployment in the area and the length of the only available existing road?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)Although the construction 1153 of this road has been advocated on several occasions by the Grimsby Corporation, I am not aware that any definite scheme with estimates has ever been drawn up, and I have been no evidence that financial support would be forthcoming from the other local authorities affected. The initiation of such projects rests with the responsible highway authorities.
§ Mr. SPEAKERSir Robert Thomas——
§ Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEWill the right hon. Gentleman give the matter his favourable consideration?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI am prepared to consider the scheme, but favourable consideration will have to depend on the amount of money I have got.
