§ 36. Mr. Muddasked the Secretary of State for Transport how many local authority bypasses were started in 1981; and how many he hopes will be started in 1982 following 1982 transport supplementary grant settlement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerDuring the financial year 1981–82, county councils started 19 bypasses and relief roads costing over £1 million. The recent transport supplementary grant settlement should enable counties to incur expenditure in 1982–83 on 35 new schemes of this kind worth about £130 million.
