§ 64. Mr. RILEYasked the Minister of Transport whether he has under consideration the planning of broad one-way motor roads from London to Scotland, 866 London to Lancashire, and London to the West of England?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHANo, Sir.
§ Mr. RILEYHas the right hon. Gentleman given no consideration whatever to the planning of such roads; and, if that be the case, does he not consider that such roads would be of great national utility?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI have often given consideration to this matter, but, in a thickly populated and thickly roaded country such as ours, I am not prepared to recommend embarking on the construction of an entirely new road system. I think that our task is to improve the system which we now have.
