HC Deb 30 March 1936 vol 310 c1638W
Captain McEWEN

asked the Minister of Transport whether any allocation of moneys under the five-year road plan is contemplated for the purpose of repairing and/or maintaining farm service, roads in rural areas?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Grants to the maintenance of unclassified roads in county areas were discontinued by the Local Government Act, 1929, which instituted the system of block grants from the central Exchequer in general relief of local government expenditure.
