§ 62. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will ensure that all road schemes which have been prepared for some time are brought up to date by incorporating all modern principles of design before their construction is authorised.
§ Mr. NugentThis is general practice except where last minute alterations, which are not fundamental in character, would seriously delay the start of work on a scheme.
§ Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will give a list of road schemes each costing over £50,000 which local authorities have been asked to prepare.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe fact that schemes are being prepared does not mean that constructional work will begin at any particular time. A list might, therefore, be misleading. Moreover, as I have said on a number of occasions, I do not propose to issue lists of schemes far in advance of work on them starting.
