HC Deb 17 February 1930 vol 235 c942W
Sir W. EDGE

asked the Minister of Transport the numbers and names of arterial and bye-pass roads now in course of construction; whether British material is being used in every case; and, if not, what are the exceptions?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The expenditure of time and labour required to draw up a complete list of the scope desired by the hon. Member would not, I think, be justified, and I hope he wilt not press for an answer in this form. The Annual Report on the Road Fund contains particulars of some of the major schemes in course of execution. As regards the use of British materials, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 12th February to a question by the hon. Member for the Hallam Division (Mr. Louis Smith), of which I am sending him a copy.
