§ 63. Mr. Grimondasked the Minister of Transport how far the £479,000 balance of the £750,000 promised for Highland roads is earmarked for new schemes; and how far any proportion of it is to be used on schemes which in any event would have been undertaken with the normal annual grants.
Mr. BraithwaiteA sum of £331,000 is earmarked for new schemes. None of the £479,000 will be spent on schemes which would have been undertaken had the special funds not been made available.
