§ Mr. Peter Walkerasked the Minister of Transport whether the figure of 370 miles of new or improved trunk road by 1970 in paragraph 21 of Chapter 12 of the National Plan is still the Government's firm target; and if she will divide this target figure showing separately the mileage for England, Scotland and Wales.
§ Mr. SwinglerI would refer the hon. Member to paragraph 34 of the White Paper on Transport Policy [Cmnd. 3057] and to the Reply given to the hon. Member for Twickenham (Mr. Gresham Cooke), on 8th August, 1966.—[Vol 733, c.282.]
The 1966 forecast of 354 miles comprises approximately 250 miles in England, 72 miles (including 6 miles to be constructed as motorway) in Scotland and 32 miles (including 4½ miles to be constructed as motorway) in Wales.
