HC Deb 23 November 1925 vol 188 c955W
Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he intends appropriating the whole or part of the surplus of the Road Fund for purposes other than those originally intended; and whether he will apply the surplus to the making of new roads and widening and repairing existing roads, and thereby give employment to thousands who at present cannot find employment?

Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Minister of Transport whether the Government propose that the money allocated to the Road Fund is to be used for other purposes; and, if so, under what authority is this being done?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am not prepared to disclose at the present stage any plans for next year's finance which it may be my duty to submit for the consideration of the Cabinet.
