§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThe following are the figures. In order to retain comparability those for 1954–55 exclude any supplementary allocations made during the course of the year.
Trunk road allocations for 1955–56 to the smaller agent authorities are not yet 184W complete and the figures given are for geographical counties.
