HC Deb 29 November 1934 vol 295 c1015W
Mr. JOEL

asked the Minister of Transport the number of level crossings to whose elimination his Department has made any grants in the last five years, giving the names and the amounts in each case?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Works of this nature usually form part of larger improvement schemes, and it is not practicable to extract the actual cost of eliminating a level crossing from the cost of the scheme, of which it forms part. During the years 1930–1934, Road Fund grants have been made to 26 schemes for eliminating or avoiding level crossings.
