HC Deb 17 June 1959 vol 607 c51W
82. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether, in view of the fact that some 3,000 men, and plant valued at about £5,000,000, will shortly be released from constructional work on the London to Birmingham motorway, he can yet give an indication as to what new plans he has for continuing on an adequate scale the road construction programme.

Mr. Nugent

The road programme will continue into the future as fast as the resources of the country will allow and our forward planning ensures that the preparatory work has been done to keep the pipeline full. But as I have said before we do not intend to announce detailed plans a long way ahead.
