HC Deb 26 July 1939 vol 230 c1586W
Sir W. EDGE

asked the Minister of Transport, when he anticipates the road work aimed at the relief of unemployment will commence; and which projects so far as can be seen at present, will first be taken in hand.

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

Negotiations are now proceeding with a large number of highway authorities with a view to accelerating the initiation of further works on roads and bridges. I am unable to say which of the many projects under consideration will be started first.
