Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will provide additional funding for local highway authorities to address (1) the backlog of 4,000 applications for historic rights of way, and (2) the 41,000 miles of potentially unrecorded routes discovered by the Ramblers and its volunteers.

Funding for local authorities is a matter for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
