HC Deb 16 November 1936 vol 317 c1337W
Mr. ACLAND

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can give the figures showing the amount which each English county spent on all roads and Class A roads, respectively, in any recent year; and can he state in each case what rate in the £ had to be charged in order to raise the former sum?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The total amount (including Loan Charges) spent by each county on its roads and bridges and the rates in the £ levied for highway purposes are published in Part III of the Annual Local Taxation Returns for England and Wales. The aggregate expenditure on Class I roads incurred by county councils in England and Wales is shown in Appendix 14 to the annual reports on the administration of the Road Fund.
