HC Deb 24 March 1952 vol 498 c17
40. Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the dangerous stretch of highway outside Messrs. Yardley's factory, Carpenters Road, Stratford, details of which have been supplied to him; and whether, in view of the grave financial difficulties confronting the West Ham Borough Council, he will consider making them a special financial grant to enable them to resurface this admittedly dangerous section of Carpenters Road.

Mr. Maclay

I have no funds available for this purpose and I am debarred by the Local Government Act, 1929, from making a grant from the Road Fund for such work in a county borough.
