asked the Minister of Transport if he will issue a progress report showing developments undertaken to improve the national road system since the passing of the Trunk Roads Act, 1946.

Information as to developments since the passing of the Trunk Roads Act, 1946, will be included in the Report on the administration of the Road Fund for 1946–7 and each year thereafter.

When may the report be expected?

I should think soon after the end of the year.
