HC Deb 08 November 1937 vol 328 c1427W
Sir N. Grattan-Doyle

asked the Minister of Transport what has been the increase in the mileage of trunk roads since his Department became responsible for them?

Mr. Burgin

The Trunk Roads Act, 1936, does not empower me to add to the mileage of trunk roads, save in so far as may be incidental to superseding some part of a trunk road by a diversion or by-pass.
