HC Deb 20 November 1970 vol 806 c509W
Dr. David Owen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what additional expenditure he proposes to make in the road programme for the next five years.

Mr. Graham Page

Expenditure on the English road programme is at present planned to rise by about 8½ per cent. a year on average at constant prices between this year and 1974–75. The level of expenditure in 1975–76 has still to be determined.
