32. Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Minister of Transport the amount spent on road construction and improvement in Wales for each year from 1929 to 1934?

Captain A. HUDSON

The amounts spent by highway authorities in Wales on works of major improvement and new construction during the three years from 1930 to 1933 inclusive were approximately £992,000, £1,434,000 and £819,000 respectively. These amounts are exclusive of administration expenses. Comparable particulars are not available for the year 1929–30 and those for the year 1933–34 will be published in due course in the Road Fund Report.

33. Mr. GRENFELL

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the scheme for the construction of a new road to join Llangenith and Rhosilly, in the Gower peninsula; and whether he is prepared to give special facilities for promoting this desirable development for residential purposes as well as for the convenience of tourists?

Captain HUDSON

My right hon. Friend has no knowledge of this scheme. It is not included in the programme submitted by the Glamorgan County Council of works to be carried out in the next five years.
