HC Deb 03 March 1932 vol 262 cc1289-90W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Transport for what reasons it has been decided to stop work on the Blackrod by-pass road; whether he is aware that the job is not far off completion; and, in view of the deterioration of the foundations that must must ensue if the job is not completed, will he reconsider the decision to prevent its completion?

Mr. PYBUS

Work is being suspended by the county council in response to the Government's request for their cooperation in securing the limitation in road expenditure demanded by the financial situation. The road is about half finished, and I am satisfied that the county council will take such steps as will safeguard the work until such time as local and national finances will allow of its resumption.
