HC Deb 16 July 1975 vol 895 c522W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish in the Official Report details of the reduction in the transport supplementary grant for each county council in Wales for 1975–76; and if he will estimate the effect of these cuts on the number of road workers employed by each county.

Mr. John Morris

1975–76 is the first year in which the new transport supplementary grant payments are being made. There has been no reduction in the expenditure figures approved for grant purposes which remain as notified to individual county councils in December 1974.
