HC Deb 06 July 1938 vol 338 c412W
Mr. Short

asked the Minister of Transport whether the Ministry's inquiry, to be held at Doncaster into the proposed scheme for the construction of a by-pass road from Bawtry to the Sun Inn, will take into consideration the Doncaster Corporation's scheme to cut a new road from Frenchgate to Wheatley Hills; and, if not, does he propose to make a grant toward the corporation scheme?

Mr. Burgin

The inquiry to be held on 7th July relates primarily to my proposal under Section 1 (3) of the Trunk Roads Act for a by-pass to Doncaster on its western side. The proposal which the corporation have under consideration is for a new road from Frenchgate, in the centre of the town, north-eastwards to Wheatley Hills. The two proposals are not related. In reply to the second part of the question, I am unable, on present information, to undertake to make a grant towards the corporation's scheme.
