§ 40. Mr. Lewisasked 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. MaclayI 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.
