§ Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of difficulties that continue respecting the arterial road scheme through Leyton, and the resistance of that local authority to bearing a disproportionate amount of the cost of a roadway that will be of little benefit to the borough itself; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter, in view of the deadlock that seems to exist?
§ Captain WallaceThe position regarding this scheme remains as stated in the reply which I gave the hon. Member on the 24th May last. Upon receipt of an application from the responsible highway authorities I am prepared to consider making a grant from the Road Fund at the normal rates.
