HC Deb 03 March 1932 vol 262 c1290W
Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Minister of Transport when the liabilities of the Road Fund in respect of commitments already sanctioned will cease to present an annual deficit; what amounts have been advanced from the fund in the aggregate since 31st March, 1931; and what is the present position of the fund?

Mr. PYBUS

I hope that it may not be necessary to ask Parliament to supplement the ordinary income of the Road Fund after next year. The payments out of the Road Fund from 1st April, 1931, to 29th February, 1932, amount to £26,432,000, and the Vote had been drawn upon to the extent of approximately £3,000,000.
