Robertsasked the Minister of Transport what is the likelihood of the construction of the Birmingham-Yorkshire section of the London-Yorkshire motorway being delayed owing to the Government's financial policy of limiting capital expenditure on the construction of new road developments; whether this will also affect other schemes scheduled to commence; and if he will give details of such projects.
