HC Deb 02 July 1935 vol 303 cc1701-2
40. Mr. T. RAMSAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will give figures showing the contributions made by his Department during each of the last four financial years ended March, 1935, towards road schemes in the Outer Hebrides?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Captain Austin Hudson)

As the reply contains a number of figures, I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the reply:

Grants were made in respect of seven schemes in the Outer Hebrides during the last four financial years and the payments made were as follows:

£
1931–32 … … … 625
1932–33 … … … 269
1933–34 … … … 1,179
1934–35 … … … 1,518
£3,591
In addition grants have been made in respect of works of maintenance and minor improvements of roads in the counties of Inverness and Ross and Cromarty as a whole, but without detailed local inquiries, I am unable to state what portion of these grants relate to works in the Outer Hebrides.
