HC Deb 09 March 1932 vol 262 cc1790-1
46. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Transport if he will state the location of the new roads under construction where work has been stopped at the instance of the present Govern- ment; the length of each such road; how much has been spent on each; and how much money would be required to complete construction in each case?

Mr. PYBUS

The information asked for by the hon. Member is not readily available and could only be furnished at a considerable expenditure of time and labour. I hope, therefore, that the hon. Member will not press for a detailed answer. If he will let me know of any particular scheme which he has in mind I shall be happy to give him any information available.

Mr. DAVIES

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that in my own constituency a scheme has been stopped? Can he give us a figure indicating how many schemes have been stopped—a hundred or a thousand, more or less?

Mr. PYBUS

I require notice of that question.
