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

asked the Minister of Transport if he proposes to withdraw the grant indicated to the Surrey County Council for the work at Egham connected with the construction of a by-pass road and the preservation of Runnymede by the National Trust as a place of historic interest?

Mr. PYBUS

I have recently received the Surrey County Council's proposals for the curtailment of road expenditure in their area, which includes the Egham By-pass Road. Until I have considered these proposals, in conjunction with those of the other highway authorities, I cannot say how far it may be possible to proceed with this or other particular schemes at the present time.

Mr. EDE

Will the Government, having deprived us of our liberties, enable us to preserve the places where some of them were born?
