HC Deb 17 April 1973 vol 855 c91W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the promised announcement of the new national trunk roads programme will be made.

Mr. Peyton

Work is at various stages of preparation on £2,000 million worth of schemes which will complete a primary network of about 3,500 miles of high quality strategic trunk roads during the early 1980s. The preparation of further schemes is always under review.
