HC Deb 23 July 1951 vol 491 cc15-6W
Mr. Llewellyn

asked the Minister of Transport what action he has taken upon the recommendation made in paragraph 73 of Command Paper 8060, submitted by the Council for Wales and Monmouthshire in October, 1950, that where it can be certified by the Minister of Agriculture that the condition of a public unclassified road is detrimental to the economic development of a holding eligible for assistance under a marginal land scheme, Exchequer grants should be payable to the highway authority towards the cost of the necessary reconditioning.

Mr. Barnes

None, I have no power to make grants towards the maintenance of unclassified roads in counties.
