HC Deb 24 July 1929 vol 230 cc1321-2W
Mr. PRICE

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can see his way to secure a grant towards the Cleator Moor by-pass road scheme, in the county of Cumberland, in view of the inability of the locality, through unemployment and high rates, to contribute?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

This road, if constructed, will be a classified road, and, in view of the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1929, it would be desirable that the urban district council should approach the county council with a request that this scheme should be included in the proposals to be put forward by them in response to Circular No. 298 (Roads), which I issued on 9th July. I am sending a copy of the circular to my hon. Friend for his information.
