HC Deb 23 May 1977 vol 932 c349W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if it remains his policy that the transport supplement grant, not being a specific grant, may be used by a county council, once allocated to it, in such a way as it thinks appropriate in respect of its transportation expenditure generally.

Mr. William Rodgers

Yes, but I do not expect a county to pursue policies substantially different from the proposals I have accepted as eligible expenditure for grant.
