HC Deb 10 March 1954 vol 524 c152W
46. Mr. Vane

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is satisfied that the normal scale of work on widening roads in country districts and improving visibility on corners is not unnecessarily extravagant in its demands on agricultural land.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I believe that highway authorities make every effort to keep their demands on agricultural land to a reasonable minimum, but if my hon. Friend is uneasy about any particular case and will let me have details, I will look into it.
