§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total expenditure on roads in Wales, central and local government combined, in 1966–67, 1967–68 and 1968–69; and what is his estimate for the total 1969–70 expenditure.
§ Mr. George ThomasThe information is as follows:—
1966–67 … … £29.5m 1967–68 … … £29.6m 1968–69 … … £31.2m It is not possible to estimate accurately in advance what the level of local authority expenditure will be and a reliable figure for 1969–70 cannot be known until returns of such expenditure are received at the end of the financial year.
