HC Deb 27 April 1936 vol 311 cc559-60
60. Miss WILKINSON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has yet come to a decision regarding the grants to be made for the Gateshead-Felling road by-pass; and whether it has yet been decided whether such grants are to be given on net cost or site value?

Captain HUDSON

The question raises an issue of general policy on which my right hon. Friend hopes shortly to make an announcement.

Miss WILKINSON

In view of the length of time that this road has been under consideration and the accidents that have taken place in the bottle-neck which it is proposed to by-pass, may I ask how long it will be before that answer is given?

Captain HUDSON

I think that my right hon. Friend hopes to give the answer in a few days.
