§ 56. Mr. Shortasked the Minister of Transport the date when the scheme for the reconstruction of the York-Tadcaster road was first submitted; the estimated cost of the scheme; and can he account for the delay in granting sanction?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThe scheme was submitted in June last for widening six miles of road and reconstructing two bridges at a cost estimated at £265,000. Certain amendments were effected as the result of discussions with my technical officers, and the council were informed in November last that the scheme was approved in principle and that a grant would be issued subject to their acceptance.
