HC Deb 16 November 1936 vol 317 cc1336-7W
Mr. HOPKIN

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the impasse concerning the Llansaint-Kidwelly Road, Carmarthen-shire; and whether he will see that something is done to put the road in repair so that it can be fully used by the inhabitants of Llansaint?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Yes, Sir. The Kidwelly Town Council are the highway authority responsible for placing the road in a proper state of repair. I have no power to compel the authority to carry out the work, but I am prepared to consider making a grant of half the necessary cost if I am satisfied that the roads have through traffic value.
