§ Captain Bullockasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he is aware that many housing plans are held up because no decision has yet been made about the improvement of the British road system, particularly the building of ring roads and by-passes around built-up areas; and what steps it is proposed to take to hasten these decisions about the post-war roadways of this country.
§ Mr. SilkinThe arrangements made by my Department for relating the choice of housing sites to post-war road and other development plans are working smoothly, and I am not aware that housing plans for the immediate post-war programme are being held up for the reasons suggested. I am in close consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of War Transport on post-war highway developments.
