§ Mr. FinchUnder the programme prepared by the previous administration, expenditure on Welsh motorways over the next five years will taper off from over £7 million in 1965–66 to under £½ million in 1969–70. My right hon.

He hopes to make an announcement later this year about the future Welsh road programme.
