§ Mr. R. T. EVANSasked the Minister of Transport the aggregate of grants paid out of the Road Fund to local authorities in Wales and Monmouthshire in each of the years 1928 to 1932?
Mr. STANLEYThe aggregate grants made out of the Road Fund in each of the years 1928 to 1932 to local authorities in Wales and Monmouthshire were: 1693W
£ 1928–29 … … … 1,019,151 1929–30 … … … 1,513,457 1930–31 … … … 2,181,884 1931–32 … … … 1,210,406 1932–33 … … … 965,995 These grants were included in the figures of total grants furnished to the hon. Member by nay hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on 19th June, 1933. Since the grants were made, several of the road improvement schemes to which they relate have been curtailed or postponed. To take out the payments made to the authorities in respect of these grants would entail considerable labour, and I therefore hope that the hon. Member will not press for this information.
