HC Deb 09 February 1933 vol 274 c382W
Major CARVER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will be prepared, as stated in the preamble of the Humber Bridge Bill, to make a grant of 75 per cent. of the net cost of the Humber Bridge scheme?

Mr. PYBUS

As I informed the House a year ago, in the altered financial circumstances it is not possible for the Government to make a grant to the cost of constructing this bridge.
