HC Deb 29 July 1936 vol 315 c1548W
Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the congestion on the Cambridge arterial road; whether he is aware that houses are being built along the road in a manner that will either prevent widening or cause additional expense; and whether he has considered any proposal for widening it to cope with the increasing traffic?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

No houses can be built along this road in contravention of the provisions of the Ribbon Development Act. Further, under the Five-Year Programme the county council propose to provide a second carriageway along the road.
