HC Deb 07 May 1936 vol 311 cc1891-2W
Mr. MARKHAM

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the poor state of the Stony Stratford-Shenley road; and whether any proposals are being considered for its improvement?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The county council of Buckinghamshire have under consideration a proposal to widen and reconstruct a section of Watling Street (A.5) between Stony Stratford and a point near the village of Shenley, and I have offered a grant of 75 per cent. towards the cost of the works, estimated at £150,000.
