§ 25. Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Transport the date when the Stratford High Street widening was first sanctioned; when the procedure upon the works was stopped; what proportion of these works he now proposes to sanction; when such works are due to proceed; the proportion of the expenditure falling upon the local authority; and the proportion to be borne by the Road Fund?
§ Mr. PYBUSThe widening of High Street, Stratford, was formally approved for a grant from the Road Fund in June, 1931; but the obligation was terminated in November under the National Economy Order, 1931. I have since approved the widening of a length of road, including Sir Thomas D'Akers Bridge. I understand that an early start will be made with this work; 50 per cent. of the approved expenditure will be borne by the Road Fund.
