§ 40. Mr. Crouchasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the additional sums of money he will permit to he spent on road improvements in Dorset during the next twelve months.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterGovernment expenditure of £26,042 on major road improvements was authorised in 1954–55. In the present financial year the corresponding figure will be £55,040.
§ Mr. CrouchIs my right hon. Friend aware that we are very modest in our county, and the requests we make to him are small? Is he aware that a considerable sum is required to straighten and widen the A30 road, part of which passes through our county?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI appreciate the desire of Dorset to make further improvements in its roads, but I do not think that it has done too badly this year.
