§ 27. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Transport the amount of the grant from the Road Fund in aid of 196 rural roads during the year ended 31st March, 1925, and during the year ended 31st March, 1927, together with the estimated amount for the current year?
§ Colonel ASHLEYIf, as I assume, my hon. Friend has in mind the special assistance given towards the maintenance of unclassified roads in rural areas, the answer to his question is that no allocation for this purpose was made from the Road Fund prior to last year, and that in each of the years 1926–27 and 1927–28 a sum of £1,400,000 has been provided.
