HC Deb 11 November 1936 vol 317 cc863-4
59. Mr. CLEMENT DAVIES

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will arrange to have placed in the Tea Room of the House of Commons a large scale map showing the roads to be transferred under the Trunk Roads Bill?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Yes, Sir.

Mr. TURTON

Will the Minister also include in the map all trunk roads not taken over?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The map contains the roads which I am taking over. If it contained all the roads of the country, that would mean delay.

Mr. TURTON

Will it show the trunk roads that he is not taking over, the large and important roads?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am taking over all the trunk roads, and they will all be shown.

Mr. TURTON

Does the Minister not regard the road that leads to Scarborough as a trunk road?
