44. Mr. VYVYAN ADAMSasked the Minister of Transport if he can make any statement as to the negotiations for the purchasing and freeing of the toll road at Bentham, on the road from Leeds to Morecambe; and whether the undertaking of his predecessor to make a 50 per cent. grant in this connection still holds good?
§ Mr. PYBUSI am advised that negotiations have not yet been concluded. In the event of the undertaking being purchased by the two county councils concerned, any application for a grant will have to be considered in the light of the funds which may be then available.
