HC Deb 07 May 1931 vol 252 cc545-6
94. Mr. LOGAN

asked the Minister of Transport the reasons for the delay in making a Government grant for the £2,000,000 Liverpool - Everton tunnel scheme; and if he can give an assurance that it will be granted at the earliest opportunity?

95. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Minister of Transport whether the Everton tunnel scheme has been submitted to him in proper order; and if it has been passed for grant?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Mr. Parkinson)

My right hon. Friend is considering the particulars submitted by the Liverpool Corporation relative to the proposed Everton Tunnel, and hopes to be able to make a definite statement thereon at an early date.

Mr. LOGAN

Can we get to know from the Minister of Transport whether the grant of 60 per cent. is going to be allowed?

Mr. PARKINSON

I think that my hon. Friend had better wait until the Minister makes his statement.
