§ Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will indicate the amount of work which has been authorised for each of the eligible county councils in Wales for unclassified and unadopted roads, separately, for the year 1959–60, under the Agriculture (Improvement of Roads) Act, 1955.
§ Mr. John HareNo fresh work for the year 1959–60 has yet been authorised under the Act but my Ministry is in consultation with highway authorities with a view to the approval of programmes of new work to the following amounts in eligible counties in Wales and Monmouthshire:
County Estimated cost of work to be authorised £ Brecon … … 25,000 Caernarvon … … 19,000 Cardigan … … 34,000 Carmarthen … … 24,000 Denbigh … … 34,000 Flint … … 15,000 Glamorgan … … 17,000 Merioneth … … 28,000 Monmouth … … 28,000 Montgomery … … 34,000 Pembroke … … 15,000 Radnor … … 32,000 £305,000 These amounts provide for schemes to be carried out by the county councils and by certain other highway authorities in the counties mentioned.
