HC Deb 27 October 1965 vol 718 cc63-4W
51. Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made in constructing toilet facilities on trunk roads in the four pilot scheme counties; and what is the sum earmarked for this purpose.

Mr. Swingler

The total sum earmarked for the Exchequer one-third contributions to toilets provided by local authorities under the scheme is £50,000. We are now including in the scheme toilets which local authorities are willing to provide in other counties as well as the four originally proposed.

So far two toilets have been provided. Plans for a further seven are well advanced and discussions on others are proceeding.
