§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will review his funding policy for transport minor works schemes; and if he will make a statement. [1299]
§ Mr. HainTransport Grant is available for schemes costing over £5 million. Smaller projects are funded at individual local authorities' discretion from unhypothecated resources. I am currently reviewing these arrangements and anticipate that any changes will be introduced for the 1998–99 bidding round.
