HC Deb 29 January 1968 vol 757 c225W
52. Mr. Awdry

asked the Minister of Transport what proportion of the £29 million cuts for major roads in 1969–70 will fall on maintenance; and what proportion on building new roads.

Mr. John Morris

It is too early to say.

53. Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Transport if she will specify the cuts in the road division of her Department as a result of economy measures announced on 16th January, 1968.

Mr. John Morris

During the coming year the highways organisation in the Department will be reshaped to take account of the transfer of work to the Road Construction Units. It is too early to say how this reshaping will be affected by the economy measures.
