HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 cc217-8W
70. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, in view of the cut in opencast coal mining, if he will utilise the men and equipment so released by speeding up the road building programme.

Mr. Nugent

We are already pushing ahead with the road programme as fast as the country can afford. Earth-moving equipment, and the men to operate it, are not limiting factors.
