§ Mr. Lawlerasked the Secretary of State for Transport what was the total sum spent on the repair and maintenance of roads in the Bradford metropolitan district council area in 1979–80, 1980–81, 1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1984–85 and 1985–86, giving the figures in actual prices and in terms of 1979–80 prices.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyReturns of actual expenditure on highway maintenance are submitted by individual highway authorities to the Department in relation to their area as a whole. Prior to April 1986 the highway authority for Bradford was West Yorkshire Metropolitan county council. I am afraid therefore I have no details of maintenance expenditure within Bradford for this period.
