HC Deb 28 May 1930 vol 239 cc1287-8
41. Mr. VAUGHAN

asked the Minister of Transport when work on the further section of the Western Avenue, which he hoped would be commenced early in the current year, will be put in hand?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

So soon as certain negotiations with the Middlesex County Council are completed regarding the exact lay-out to be adopted for the road, I hope that the council will be in a position to invite tenders for the work.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Will the hon. Gentleman see that the surface of the new road is not as bad as that of some of the existing by-passes?

Mr. MORRISON

The Ministry of Transport is always improving the condition of the roads.
