HC Deb 26 July 1933 vol 280 c2577
34. Mr. BURNETT

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will arrange for the distribution of Circular No. 383 (Roads) to members of town and county councils?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

For the reasons given in the reply to my bon. Friend's similar question on the I9th July, I do not consider that the expense of the suggested further distribution would be justified.

Mr. BURNETT

Is my hon. and gallant Friend satisfied that members of county councils are made aware as to the provisions in that circular, Sections 16 and 21, with regard to tenders and supplies of material?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

The officers of local authorities have this information, which can easily be obtained by members of county councils and other local bodies if they so desire.

Mr. BURNETT

Is my hon. and gallant Friend satisfied that those provisions will be carried out if members of county councils do not happen to be supplied with the information?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

I am quite satisfied.
