HC Deb 01 December 1926 vol 200 c1185
56. Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Minister of Transport if applications for the Unemployment Grants Committee are still being received and transmitted by his Department; whether there are in respect of road work any special conditions, and, if so, of what nature, to which these applications must conform?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)

The Unemployment Grants Committee no longer make grants to road and bridge works. Any applications still submitted to the Committee in respect of road or bridge works are now referred to my Department, so that it may be considered whether they are suitable for grants from the Road Fund. If grants are made from the Road Fund, the ordinary conditions attaching to such grants are applied.
