Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport what is the total of the special additional expenditure which has been and is to be authorised on new construction and improvement of roads in development areas; and what percentage this forms of the proposed total road programme expenditure for the development areas and for England, respectively.
§ Mr. John MorrisAbout £1½ million. A comparison with total road programme expenditure in development areas is not readily available, but this is about 0.75 per cent. of the total road programme expenditure in England in 1967–68.
