§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give for each county and large burgh, respectively, the total of classified road grants requested for the period 1961–62 to 1963–64 which amount to £20,430,000.
§ Mr. MaclayThe requests made by individual highway authorities for grants in respect of major improvements to classified roads for the years 1961–62 to 1963–64 are shown in the table below.
My purpose in asking for these requests was to obtain information which would help in the planning of a three-year programme within the limits of the funds likely to be available for schemes of this type. No assurance was given that the proposals included by highway 198W authorities in their requests could necessarily be accepted for grant within the three-year period.
