HC Deb 05 December 1935 vol 307 cc312-3W
Captain STRICKLAND

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will issue for the information of the House a comprehensive list of the road works already approved by the Minister of Transport under the five-year plan for road development, showing in each case the total estimated cost, the amount of the Road Fund grant, and the amount to be provided by the highway authority?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Approximately 3,500 schemes are already approved for commencement during this year alone, and my hon. and gallant Friend will appreciate the magnitude of the compilation which he requires. As plans are naturally varied from time to time, such a list would require constant revision, but as regards any schemes or area in which my hon. and gallant Friend is interested, I shall readily make available to him any information which he may desire.
