HC Deb 06 December 1957 vol 579 c91W
Mr. Warbey

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation (1) what proposals he has submitted to the local authorities concerned in regard to the claiming system in respect of classified roads and bridges;

(2) what objections he has received from boroughs and urban districts with populations of 30,000 and over, or from associations representing them, to his proposal to grant new powers to county councils to veto expenditure on classified roads claimed by these local authorities.

Mr. Watkinson

I have decided not to proceed with these proposals.
