§ 68. Mr. HUGH MORRISONasked the Minister of Transport what was the actual sum allocated from the Road Fund to unclassified roads in England, Wales and Scotland during the financial year 1924–25; and what sum is it proposed to allocate for similar purposes during the, financial year 1925–26?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThe actual grants made from the Road Fund in respect of unclassified roads and bridges in England, Wales and Scotland during the financial year 1924–25 will amount approximately to £820,000. I am not yet in a position to state what sum it is proposed to allocate for similar purposes during the financial year 1925–26.
§ Mr. HURDDid we not understand from the right hon. Gentleman yesterday that the total amount for the last three years, including this new amount, was to be £5,000,000?
§ Colonel ASHLEYIf the hon. Member will look at my reply he will see that it deals with the question of the actual sum allocated, and I had to answer as to actual grants. This was because the money allocated for last year was not only for unclassified roads but also for first and second-class roads.
