HC Deb 27 July 1960 vol 627 c145W
59. Mr. Ridsdale

asked the Minister of Transport how much he estimates will be spent on the London-Colchester road in the next three years.

Mr. Marples

I regret that I cannot forecast the amount which will be spent in the next three years. The sum must depend both on the total which can be made available for trunk road improvements throughout the country, and on the claims of other improvement schemes.
