asked the Minister of Transport whether he is now in a position to publish those statistics ordinarily appearing in the Annual Report on the Administration of the Road Fund which have been omitted during the war years but of which records have been maintained.

The information has been obtained so far as it is readily available, and is at present being collated.

Will this information be published in so far as the particulars are available to the Minister?

Yes, Sir, that is what I have tried to do, but many local authorities have not replied to the requests for information.
