HC Deb 25 March 1936 vol 310 c1215
31. Mr. BANFIELD

asked 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. BANFIELD

But surely the Minister must be aware of the delay?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I 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.
