HC Deb 11 December 1935 vol 307 c907
55. Sir JOSEPH LAMB

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will issue a statement giving the names of the highway authorities whose schemes for works under the five-year road-development plan of the estimated cost of £27,000,000 are proposed to be begun in the year 1935–36, together with brief particulars of each scheme, and in each case the estimated cost, the amount to be contributed out of the Road Fund, the amount to be provided by the highway authority, and the amount, if any, to be provided by other parties?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 5th December last to a question by the hon. and gallant Member for Coventry (Captain Strickland) of which I am sending him a copy.

Sir J. LAMB

Is the Minister satisfied with the rate at which these schemes are being sent in?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

"Satisfied" is a psychological matter. I am never completely satisfied.
