HC Deb 07 March 1991 vol 187 c251W
Mr. Illsley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the total amount of public money spent on(a) roads and (b) motorways from 1961 to the present date.

Mr. Chope

The total amount spent on all public roads in England from 1961–62 to 1989–90 was £39 billion—£96 billion at 1989–90 prices. It is not possible, except at disproportionate cost, to produce a comparable figure for motorways.
