HC Deb 04 November 1930 vol 244 c681W
Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will introduce legislation to give effect to the recommendations of the Departmental Committee set up in 1925 relating to the 'stopping up and diversion of highways?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The pressure of Parliamentary business makes it unlikely that any legislation can be introduced in the near future for the purpose of amending the law as regards the stopping up and diversion of highways. The question is one that could most suitably be dealt with in connection with a general Bill for the amendment and consolidation of the law relating to highways.
