HC Deb 05 March 1931 vol 249 c556
2. Sir KINGSLEY WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour the amount that has been approved by the Unemployment Grants Committee for grant schemes in respect of classified and unclassified roads; the amount actually expended; and what proportion has been paid by the local authorities?

Miss BONDFIELD

The Unemployment Grants Committee do not entertain applications in respect of classified roads. Since let June, 1929, schemes of work in connection with unclassified roads, of an estimated total cost of £8,002,000, have been approved for grant on the recommendation of the Committee. I am unable to inform the right hon. Member as to the amounts actually expended.

Sir K. WOOD

Is it possible for the Minister to give the amount on classified roads?

Miss BONDFIELD

If the right hon. Gentleman will put down a question, I will try to get the information.
