§ Mr. Edenasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that no classified road scheme of over £300,000 has yet been considered for authorisation in respect of a number of county boroughs, including that of Bournemouth, for any of the years 1961–62, 1962–63, and 1963–64; and what additional grant or grants of this order will be made in respect of these years in the near future.
§ Mr. MarplesI have included in the first three year programme notified to highway authorities those classified road schemes which appeared to command the highest priority throughout the country. I regret that it was not possible to include all schemes submitted. I shall be considering the programme for 1964–65 later this year.
