HC Deb 02 March 1966 vol 725 c308W
Mr. Urwin

asked the Minister of Transport what steps have been taken by her Department to increase the use of natural stone in motorway construction.

Mr. Swingler

None. The Department's specification for road and bridge works provides for natural stone as an alternative to concrete or cast stone. Natural stone when crushed can also be an alternative to crushed slag. The most economical material is used in each case.
