§ 14. Mr. HEPWORTHasked the Minister of Transport whether any grants from the Road Fund for new road construction have been made within the last year; how many such applications are under consideration; and what are the figures in each case for Yorkshire?
Mr. STANLEYGrants amounting to £1,842,000 were made during the financial year ended 31st March, 1933, for new road and bridge construction, of which £44,300 relates to schemes in Yorkshire. These grants relate both to schemes approved during the year and to further sections of schemes approved in previous years. Considerable labour would be involved in ascertaining the number of applications now under consideration, and I trust that my hon. Friend will not press for this information.
