§ Mr. MANDERasked the Minister of Transport if it is the intention of the Government to make use of the procedure under the Development and Road Improvement Funds Act, 1909, and to acquire additional land on either side of roads or whether, in view of the small amount of land purchased since it took office, it is proposed to introduce legislation giving additional powers?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONIn every case where these powers could be exercised, I obtain advice regarding the desirability of acquiring additional land. I do not at present propose to seek additional powers in the matter.
