§ Sir A. POWNALLasked the Minister of Transport what is the approximate expenditure to which the Road Fund is committed during each of the next five years?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThe estimated expenditure on Road Fund account during the current financial year is approximately £33,000,000. Expenditure during future years must depend not only on the rate of progress made by some 1,500 highway authorities on schemes in hand provisionally approved, or in prospect, but also on further commitments which may be undertaken during those years.
