HC Deb 12 April 1956 vol 551 c32W
67. Sir F. Medlicott

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what was the approximate acreage of agricultural land taken in Great Britain during 1955 for the purpose of constructing or improving roads; and what it is estimated will be the corresponding figure for 1956.

Mr. Watkinson

For 1955, I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer which I gave to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Barkston Ash (Sir L. Ropner) on 28th March, 1956. I regret it is not possible at this stage to give an estimate of the corresponding figures for 1956.
