§ 62. Mr. Gowerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he will take to enable local authorities to make up unmade roads which have remained in a dangerous or disagreeable condition since 1939, or earlier; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MarplesMy right hon. Friend realises the importance of this problem and he is allowing as much work as he can consistently with other demands on labour and materials. More work has been authorised this year than last for the making up of private streets, and he hopes that it will be possible to continue this progress.
