HC Deb 23 March 1955 vol 538 cc2068-9
40. Brigadier Rayner

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation to what extent increased grants for road improvement and development in Devonshire will be available under the expanded road programme.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I have asked all highway authorities for their proposals in respect of classified roads. I can make no statement on the allocation of grants until I have received and studied those proposals.

41. Brigadier Rayner

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how much of the Totnes westerly by-pass will be completed during the next financial year.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I hope the whole of it, but certainly three-quarters of it. The limiting factor from a time point of view is the bridge over the railway.
