HC Deb 02 March 1953 vol 512 cc4-5W
67. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Transport his estimate of the expenditure on roads per head of population at the latest known date; and how this compares with 1922, 1932 and 1942.

Mr. Braithwaite

The expenditure on highways, excluding loan charges, per head of the population was £1 3s. 10d. in 1922–23, £1 3s. 11d. in 1932–33, £1 12s. 9d. in 1950–1. I regret that figures for the war years are not available.
