62. Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Health what was the ratio of rates to taxes in the cost of the maintenance and construction of highways in England and Wales in the last financial year; and whether the cost to the rates in the country districts shows a higher ratio to taxes than in towns and cities?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Miss Lawrence)

The information for which the hon. and gallant Member asks is not available in respect of the last financial year.

Brigadier-General BROWN

Is it available for the year before?

Miss LAWRENCE

I have no doubt that I can send the hon. Member such information.
