Captain TERRELLasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport how the purely agricultural districts where road reconstruction is most needed, in view of the heavy motor traffic passing over them to other places, will benefit under the Road Fund scheme for assisted enterprises of this nature, particularly since they are, as a rule, not sufficiently well enough off to raise any rate equivalent to the official contribution?
§ Mr. NEALExperience goes to show that highway authorities in agricultural areas have not been backward in applying for assistance from the Road Fund, and that the financial difficulties envisaged by my hon. and gallant Friend have usually been found to be capable of solution.
