§ 91. Mr. Rentonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware that administrative and technical procedures are preventing the completion of works of general road improvement already authorised by him; and 151W whether he will take steps to expedite such procedures, bearing in mind that many of the delays which are occurring do not result from the need to give full opportunity of representation by persons whose property may be affected.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI am not sure what particular procedures my hon. and learned Friend has in mind. Some are fixed by statute for the protection of individuals concerned. With these I cannot interfere. But I am wherever possible arranging to accelerate administrative steps in connection with road construction.
