HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 c191W
81. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Transport if he will seek powers to enable him to compel local authorities whose populations have been dispersed to overspill areas to meet expenditure on roads in local authority areas on their periphery.

Mr. Swingler

No. We do not think that road expenditure in overspill areas should be singled out for special treatment.
