§ 59. Mr. TINKERasked the Minister of Transport the total amount of the Government grant towards the cost of making the Liverpool-Manchester road now in the course of construction: and will he state what percentage it is of the total cost?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThe Government grant towards the cost of the Liverpool-East Lancashire road is limited to £2,250,000, or 75 per cent. of the approved cost of the scheme, whichever is less.
§ Mr. TINKERCan my hon. Friend tell us how many people are employed on this road, and when it, will be finished?
§ Mr. MORRISONI am afraid that that question must be put on the Paper.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODWill the owners of the land alongside the road be asked to contribute to the cost?
§ Mr. MORRISONI should require notice of that question, but in any case—
§ Mr. SPEAKERI do not think that that question arises here.
