§ Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for War whether, before constructing a private road at an approximate cost of £30,000, in or near London for the purpose of training lorry-drivers, he will consider accepting the offer he has received from the Road Racing Club for the use of their track at the Crystal Palace, in view of the consequent saving to the public purse?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThere is a proposal to construct a private road for training drivers, but the cost is considerably less than £30,000, and the acceptance of the Road Racing Club's offer would not be a favourable alternative for the public purse.
