HC Deb 15 April 1981 vol 3 c191W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how much money was spent on the national road condition survey in 1980 and for each previous year that it has occurred.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

It is not possibly to give a precise answer as the cost of the survey is shared between the Department of Transport and 54 local highway authorities in England and Wales, but the total in 1980 was about £400,000.
