HC Deb 24 June 1976 vol 913 cc603-4W
52. Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the consequences for the staffing of his Department of his reappraisal of the roads programme.

Dr. Gilbert

Priorities within the road programme are currently being reviewed in the light of the reduced resources for road building announced in Cmnd. 6393. It is too early to say what consequences will be for staffing of the Department.
