§ Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Transport the mileage of arterial roads that have been built and completed in England and Wales during the three years ended to 31st December, 1928; and the total cost and from which funds this money has been contributed?
§ Colonel ASHLEYAs I explained on the 21st June last, in reply to a similar question by the hon. Member for the Abingdon Division, there is no precise definition of an arterial road, and I fear there is accordingly no basis upon which 489W the desired figures could be computed. The annual report upon the administration of the Road Fund gives, however, a general survey of the more important works carried out from year to year.
