HC Deb 05 February 1962 vol 653 c1W
4. Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will give consideration to the extension of the Agriculture (Improvement of Roads) Act, 1955, due to lapse at the end of this year.

Mr. Soames

I have been considering this very carefully. The Act has done a great deal of good in upland livestock rearing areas. However, while there may still be a few projects we should like to assist after the present financial provision is exhausted, there would not in my view be enough to justify our asking Parliament for more money.
