Vol. 449 No. 4
96 Mr. Hilliard asked the Minister for the Environment the equivalent figure in 1994 to the £44.3m. which was increased in the recent budget by £4 million to £48.3 million for maintenance of county roads; and the way in which this money was distributed in 1994 to the local authorities as stated in the principle features of the 1995 budget. [3629/95]
The provision for the maintenance of all public roads in the 1995 Estimates for my Department was increased from £44.3 million to £48.3 million in the budget. The provision included in the Abridged Version of the 1994 Estimates was £34.5 million, later increased to £54.5 million, mainly by a once-off allocation from the proceeds of the tax amnesties. The allocation of the national roads element (£21.2 million) of the 1994 provision was a matter for the National Roads Authority and a further £4 million was set aside for urban authorities. The balance was allocated to county councils for regional and county roads as set out in the following table.
