HC Deb 01 February 1940 vol 356 c1293W
Mr. Liddall

asked the Minister of Transport whether, as part of plans to provide demobilisation employment immediately after the cessation of hostilities, he will begin now to examine individual local schemes for abolishing railway level crossings and substituting depressed roadways or fly-over bridges, and thus avoid action having to be considered in a hurry and at the last moment?

Captain Wallace

I am satisfied that, if it should be decided to put road schemes in hand at the close of hostilities in order to provide employment, a sufficient number will be immediately available on which work can be started without delay.
