§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe answer to the first part of the question is £413,800, and to the second £372,420.
§ Mr. STRAUSSWill the right hon. Gentleman agree with what the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport stated in the House on 3rd June that the London County Council had not applied for money in respect of this bridge and that he was therefore not justified in using this argument to support the raid on the Road Fund?
