§ 22 Sir Basil Neven-Spenceasked the Minister of War Transport if he will introduce legislation, at an early date, to legalise expenditure by county councils on the provision of cattle grids.
§ Mr. BarnesAs I informed the hon. Member on 22nd October last, I will bear his suggestion in mind when a suitable opportunity for legislation occurs.
§ Sir B. Neven-SpenceWill not the Minister undertake to give some more positive assurance in view of the difficulty of fencing many miles of road in country districts, which is a very expensive business? The alternative is grids and we cannot at the moment construct them because of the legal position.
