HC Deb 30 September 1931 vol 257 c352
21. Mr. EDE

asked the Minister of Transport what grant he proposes to make towards the scheme for the widening of Ocean Road, South Shields?

Mr. PYBUS

An offer of a grant of 60 per cent. of the estimated cost of widening Ocean Road, South Shields, was made in May last. The town council decided not to proceed with the scheme on this basis, and the offer was accordingly withdrawn.

Mr. EDE

In view of the increasing amount of unemployment in the borough, will the hon. Member consider a further application for an increased grant?

Mr. PYBUS

I think it would be better if the application were made first.
