HC Deb 18 March 1936 vol 310 c425
44. Mr. W. ROSTRON DUCKWORTH

asked the Minister of Transport the number of cases in which he has offered assistance to bridge works, including the substitution of bridges for level crossings; and will he give the names and amount of grants in all such cases in Lancashire?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

So far as bridge works have been separately recorded, grants have been made or promised towards 71 bridge reconstruction schemes in Lancashire during the financial years 1934–35 and 1935–36, particulars of which I am sending to my hon. Friend. This total is not exhaustive because many bridge works are included in comprehensive schemes of road improvement.
