§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Transport the principle which will govern grants to be made in future to roads, bridge building, tunnel construction, and similar public works?
§ Mr. PYBUSIn allocating to road improvements such funds as may be available regard must, of course, be had among other considerations to the most urgent traffic needs and public safety, and also to the amount of employment as distinct from expenditure upon property which a particular scheme will provide, but I do not think that at this stage it is necessary or advisable for me to lay down any rigid principles.
