HC Deb 12 June 1967 vol 748 cc25-6W
Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport if she will give the latest figure showing how much of Great Britain's gross national product was devoted to the road programme; and if she will also give the comparable figures for other Western European countries, available to her from international sources.

Mr. Swingler

In 1965–66 approximately 0.6 per cent. of Great Britain's gross national product at factor cost was devoted to public expenditure on the new construction and major improvement of roads. Comparable figures for other Western European countries are not readily available from official international sources for that year.
