§ Major McLEANasked the Minister of Transport whether he can give particulars of the grants made during the last five years to county councils and rural district councils in England and Wales in respect of unclassified rural roads, distinguishing grants made for improvement and reconditioning from those made for ordinary maintenance?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI regret that the particulars asked for by my hon. and Gallant Friend are not readily available, and, as the information could only be extracted at a considerable expenditure of time and labour, I trust that he will not press for it.
