1. A structural assembly for a dashboard comprising: a metal cross-member extending in a direction of elongation, and a structural member made of plastics material connected rigidly to the metal cross-member and having a passage forming an air duct, said air duct being beside the metal cross-member relative to which it extends substantially parallel, wherein the structural member is moulded on the metal cross-member; and wherein: the cross-member has a section substantially having an open U-shape defining a hollow, the structural member comprises ribs extending into said hollow of the cross-member. 2. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the air duct has: a main portion, substantially rectilinear, extending substantially in said direction of elongation in a substantially horizontal plane passing through the metal cross-member, at least one secondary portion, substantially curved, prolonging the main portion, departing gradually from said substantially horizontal plane and passing over the metal cross-member. 3. The assembly according to claim 2, wherein: the assembly has two end zones in the direction of elongation, the assembly comprises two secondary portions located in each of said end zones. 4. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein: the structural member comprises a body incorporating the cross-member and a covering cap, between which said air duct extends, the air duct passes over the cross-member in at least one intersection zone, the assembly further comprises in the intersection zone a layer of ventilation foam extending over the ribs. 5. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein the air duct comprises a protuberance intended for fixing a vehicle steering column to the structural member and in that the protuberance is filled at least partially with ventilation foam. 6. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein over its entire length the air duct is spaced less than 5 centimetres with respect to the metal cross-member.
