§ 31. Mr. BANFIELDasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the delay which has taken place in connection with the Coneygre Road widening and bridge improvement scheme at Tipton, Staffordshire; and whether he is now in a position to give consent to the scheme so that the necessary loan sanction can be obtained from the Ministry of Health?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHA.I have made a grant from the Road Fund towards the cost of this scheme.
§ Mr. BANFIELDBut surely the Minister must be aware of the delay?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI was not asked the reason, which is that the consulting engineers had not sent in all the necessary information. As soon as it was received I made the grant.
