§ 71. Mr. HARRISONasked the Minister of Transport whether the total number of commitments upon the Road Fund for the year 1925–26 is greater than those of the year 1924–25; and, if so, by how much?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)The number of grants made would afford a misleading comparison, but the provision for purposes other than schemes expedited for the relief of unemployment was approximately £12,000,000 in 1924–25, as compared with £14,000,000 in 1925–26.
