HC Deb 24 July 1957 vol 574 cc50-1W
55. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many applications were received from local authorities during the year 1956 asking for grants for road improvements how many were refused; and what was the chief reason for the refusal.

Mr. Watkinson

These figures are not readily available, and in any case would be of little significance as applications for grant are not normally made until schemes have been discussed and accepted in principle.
