§ Colonel ASHLEYThe following grants have been made from the Road Fund since 1st April, 1925:
No grants have, during the period under review, been made towards the maintenance of unclassified roads. Any further dissection of the figures would involve a considerable expenditure of time and labour, and I trust, therefore, that my hon. Friend will not press for it.
