HC Deb 23 March 1955 vol 538 cc183-7W
Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what sums he intends to allocate to the maintenance and minor improvement of trunk and classified roads in all counties of England, Scotland, and Wales, excepting the counties of Northumberland, Durham, Cumberland, and the North Riding of Yorkshire, for 1955–56; and how these sums compare with the allocation for 1954–55.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The following are the figures. In order to retain comparability those for 1954–55 exclude any supplementary allocations made during the course of the year.

Trunk road allocations for 1955–56 to the smaller agent authorities are not yet complete and the figures given are for geographical counties.
