HC Deb 10 July 1963 vol 680 c143W
45. Mr. Kimball

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the extra grant he is expected to pay to the Lindsey County Council for frost damage repair is so inadequate that urgent work on Class II and Class III roads throughout the county is being held up; and if he will review the position.

Mr. Galbraith

Lindsey County Council has asked us for extra classification grant, so that it can repair frost damage without detriment to its normal programme of maintenance and minor improvement work on classified roads this year. We hope to be able to tell it soon how far the Government can go to meet its request.
