HC Deb 21 February 1966 vol 725 cc22-3W
Mr. Mathew

asked the Minister of Transport if she will take steps to ensure that the whole cost of road improvements, made necessary as a result of rail closures decided upon by the Government, is borne by the Exchequer.

Mrs. Castle

No. Such road improvements normally benefit road users in general, and the normal rate of grant is appropriate.
