HC Deb 18 April 1988 vol 131 c359W
31. Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what further proposals he has for motorway road construction and repairs to existing motorways.

Mr. Channon

We are continuing to develop and improve the motorway network. Seven schemes are currently under construction and a further 26 are in preparation with a total value of over £1 billion.

There is a continuing programme of major structural maintenance. In 1988–89 we expect to renew some 80 miles of existing motorway.
