HC Deb 21 February 1935 vol 298 c513
57. Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Transport what is the present position with regard to road construction between Seatoller and Buttermere and at the Wrynose and Sty Head passes; and what steps he is taking to preserve the existing character of these Lake District passes?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The Cumberland county council have found it necessary to resurface the road from Seatoller to Buttermere.

Mr. MANDER

Will the hon. Gentleman bear in mind that the special character of these passes will be entirely spoiled by the building of motor roads?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

There is no such proposal before me.
