Mr. Challen

asked the Minister of Transport the mileage of trunk, Class 1, Class 11 and unclassified roads at 31st March, 1940 to 1946, inclusive.

Mr. Barnes

The following table gives the information so far as it is available. I regret that without making detailed inquiries of all highway authorities it is not possible to provide a more recent figure for unclassified roads than that given for 1939.
