HC Deb 26 March 1936 vol 310 c1414
87. Mr. WAKEFIELD

asked the Minister of Transport the number of level crossings on the Great Western Railway which have been bridged or are about to be bridged under the terms of his 75 per cent. grant recently issued?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

Six schemes (estimated to cost £250,000) for the elimination or avoidance of level crossings on the Great Western Railway are included in the five-year programme of road works which highway authorities have submitted. Four of these are scheduled for commencement within the next 12 months, subject to the completion of the necessary preliminary arrangements.
