§ Mr. Woodburnasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what amounts were allocated and spent, respectively, on Scottish road programmes, excluding the Forth Road Bridge, for each year from 1956 till the present day.
§ Mr. NobleThe amounts allocated in the Roads, etc. (Scotland) Estimates, and the amounts actually spent on the major improvement and new construction of trunk and classified roads in Scotland, excluding the Forth Road Bridge throughout, were:
period not exceeding 30 years. Ignoring the need for additional borrowing to cover deficits arising in the early years, the current cost of repaying the loan on an annuity basis over 30 years at 6¼ per cent, would be about £1,044,000; and over 60 years about £899,000.
