HC Deb 26 October 1966 vol 734 cc185-6W
Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport on what evidence she estimated that it would cost £10,000 million to provide a reasonably adequate primary network of roads in towns by the early 1980s.

Mr. John Morris

The estimate was based on a study of the needs of a number of towns of different size and character, from which the general order of cost for England and Wales was derived. It allows for connections to the secondary road system and for essential interim improvements to deal with localised problems.
