HC Deb 08 April 1936 vol 310 c2777
68. Mr. W. ROBERTS

asked the Minister of Transport what is the standard width which the Ministry desires to see prescribed for classified and unclassified roads, respectively, which pass through the lakeland districts of Cumberland?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

It is the highway authority who are empowered by the Statute to adopt standard widths for their roads, subject to my approval of their resolutions. The appropriate standard width on any particular road is, of course, to be determined by traffic, requirements.
