HC Deb 16 December 1959 vol 615 c165W
84. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport if he has considered the letter from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce and Shipping with reference to the inadequacy of the road grants for the south-west of England and the traffic bottlenecks in the city of Bristol from and to the Midlands; and what was the nature of his reply.

Mr. Hay

Yes. My right hon. Friend has told the Chamber that, much as he sympathises with their views, several proposed improvement schemes in the south-west and in Bristol must continue to wait for the time being until schemes elsewhere which are even more urgent have been authorised.
