§ Mr. F. GOULDasked the Minister of Transport why permission to proceed with a road-widening scheme, known as Timsbury, Meadgate, Kingwell Road, has not been granted; and whether, in view of the fact that application was sought on 7th May, 1924, and considerable unemployment prevails in the district, permission could be given forthwith?
§ Mr. GOSLINGIn submitting their application the district council gave no indication that it was put forward partly with a view to the relief of unemployment. In view of my hon. Friend's representations, I am expediting the consideration of the proposal as an unemployment scheme.
