HC Deb 23 November 1966 vol 736 c303W
131. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Transport, in view of her decision to reduce by 13 feet the land needed for rural motorways to save an average of £22,000 a mile, if she will stop the kerbing of rural roads, and leave the safer and cheaper grass verges as they are.

Mr. Swingler

No. My right hon. Friend can see no reason to change the guidance given to local highway authorities on kerbing which I explained in Answer to a Question from the hon. Member on 6th July.—[Vol. 731, c.70.]
