HC Deb 27 July 1965 vol 717 c74W
83. Sir B. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport what plans he now has to streamline the procedures which still have to be applied before land can be acquired for new road construction.

Mr. Tom Fraser

These procedures are kept under constant review to see whether they can be carried out more efficiently and whether any changes in the statutory provisions governing them would be desirable. I have no immediate plans for amending legislation. For motorways and trunk roads, our aim is to start the procedures sufficiently early for them to be completed by the time roadworks are planned to start.
