§ Mr. Howeasked the Minister of Transport what was the total amount of road programme investment in the North-West Region in the years 1959 and 1964, and what is the figure for the latest year for which forecasts are available, all expressed as a percentage of Great Britain's road programme investment in the same years.
§ Mr. SwinglerFigures for 1959 are not readily available. In 1963–64 the total road programme investment in the North-West Region was approximately £17280W million; it is forecast that it will be about £43 million in 1969–70. These figures represent 12 per cent. and 13 per cent. respectively of the investment in Great Britain's road programme in those years.
