§ Mr. MACMILLANasked the Minister of Health what are the figures for the six months since 1st April, 1932, and for each of the last three completed financial years of capital expenditure out of loans by local authorities sanctioned in respect of roads and bridges?
Sir H. YOUNGThe amounts borrowed by local authorities in England and Wales for highway purposes were £9,587,723 in 1929–30 and £11,059,901 in 1930–31. I regret that figures for later periods are not in my possession.
