HC Deb 24 January 1973 vol 849 cc157-8W
48. Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in the light of a recent decision of Bolton magistrates' court, he will now make a grant for the improvement of Beaumont Road, Bolton.

Mr. Speed

The question of the state of repair of the road is before the courts at present. It is in any case a maintenance matter for which Bolton County Borough Council is responsible and my Department issues no specific grants for this type of work.
