HC Deb 30 October 1987 vol 121 c477W
Mr. Harry Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what has been the increased support for London boroughs for minor road schemes since 1979.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Support for minor road schemes in London was not itemised separately before the change to the transport supplementary grant system in 1985–86. Since then support for minor works, including urban traffic control, through the grant has increased from £5 million in that year to £10 million in 1986–87 and £16 million in the current financial year.
