§ 40. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to a proposal to make a special London-to-Brighton motorway; and whether he can supply any information as to the use of special motorways in other countries?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI am aware of the proposal for the construction of a motor way between London and Brighton. While I have some particulars of certain motorways abroad, I doubt whether the circumstances are sufficiently analogous to enable any useful deductions to be drawn from these few examples.
§ Mr. BROADWill the Minister of Transport and the Government consider the advisability of giving a monopoly of all the roadways of the country to Lord Ashfield and his friends?
§ Mr. KIRKWOODI think we ought to get an answer to that supplementary question. It is a most intelligent supplementary question.
