§ 28. Mr. Edwin Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Transport how the proportion of the proposed 1981–82 roads budget spent on trunk road construction compares with the proportion of the 1980–81 roads budget spent on the same item.
§ Mr. FowlerThe amount allocated for investment in motorways and trunk roads in 1980–81 is £407 million. That is 74 per cent. of the revised cash limit of £548 million. The Estimates for 1981–82 will be published at the time of the Budget.
