§ Sir D. NEWTONasked the Minister of Transport whether he is prepared to consider the desirability of making it a condition that in cases where grants are given for the improvement of main roads an allocation shall also, wherever practicable, be made for the provision of footpaths?
§ Colonel ASHLEYOfficers of my Department encourage the provision of footpaths, in connection with schemes for the improvement of roads, in all cases where such provision is desirable and practicable. Grants are made in the ordinary course towards the cost of their construction.
