HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 c952W
Mr. MacVEAGH

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether a Grant of £10,000,000 has been made to the Road Board; whether this money is to be expended in England and Scotland; and whether any corresponding Grant has been or will be made for Irish roads?

Mr. BALDWIN

It is proposed to ask Parliament to provide a special Grant of £8,250,000 for road improvement purposes in Great Britain, conditional upon the execution by highway authorities of a specified programme out of their own resources. The question of the provision to be made in respect of Ireland is under consideration.
