HC Deb 01 November 1949 vol 469 c37W
Mr. Philips Price

asked the Minister of Transport what are the main ingredients of the £1,250,000 economy programme of his Department so far as roads and bridges are concerned.

Mr. Barnes

The saving of £1,150,000 results mainly from reduced expenditure on the restoration of war damage to roads, including the removal of defence works, and from the deferment of schemes for freeing roads, bridges and ferries from tolls.
