Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

asked the Minister of Transport what increase of grant will be received by Devonshire roads on account of the increased percentages to be given to Class 1 and Class 2 roads?

Colonel ASHLEY

The grants made during the current financial year towards the maintenance of Class 1 and Class 2 roads and bridges in the county of Devon, including the county boroughs of Exeter and Plymouth, amount to £230,373. If the increased percentages had been in operation, the additional amount of grant payable would have been £60,780. The amount payable in respect of the year 1929–30 cannot be stated until the local authorities' estimates for that year have been submitted and approved.
