HC Deb 02 February 1994 vol 236 cc796-9W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the spending assessment for each local authority for spending on maintainance of local roads in each year since 1989.

Mr. Baldry

The highway maintenance element of the standard spending assessment for each highway authority for the years 1990–91, 1991–92, 1992–93, 1993–94 and 1994–95 are shown. SSAs were introduced in 1990–91. The figures shown for 1989–90 are the sum of the separate elements for normal maintenance, winter maintenance, and street lighting within the system of grant-related expenditure assessments which operated until 1989–90.

Comparisons between years are complicated by the transfer in recent years of funding for the structural maintenance of bridges and principal roads from the revenue to the capital account—and therefore from SSAs to transport supplementary grant and credit approvals. A total of £310 million was transferred between 1991–92 and 1993–94.
