§ 43. Mr. GOLDIE forasked the Minister of Transport whether, with a view to increasing safety on the roads, he will consider making it a condition of all further grants from national funds towards arterial road construction that the authorities responsible will build roads assisted from national funds in such a way that it is impossible for head-on collisions to take place between vehicles proceeding in opposite directions; and whether to this end he will require such roads to be divided through their whole length by a grass bank with kerbstones along the centre?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAYes, as far as practicable, these or similar provisions will be insisted on.
