§ Mr. SPOORasked the Minister of Transport how much would be required on a 75 per cent. basis to reconstruct the unclassified district roads now used for semi-national purposes, and urgently requiring reconstruction; and how much would he required to provide adequate approaches to the new industrial centres of the country?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZONI am in doubt as to what roads could be classed as carrying semi-national traffic, and in any case a comprehensive and detailed survey such as the. hon. Member's question suggests, would involve an expenditure which does not seem to me to be justified. As regards the second part of the question, I am glad to say that my Department is in close touch with the town planning authorities, who in many parts of the country are studying the problem of access by road to industrial centres. In many instances grants are being made from the Road Fund towards the necessary improvements.
