HC Deb 04 November 1970 vol 805 c362W
Mr. Montgomery

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now present the annual report to Parliament, Roads in England, for 1969–70; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The report was laid before the House yesterday and has been published today by H.M.S.O. In view of the fact that the report covers the last year in office of the previous Administration I do not feel it provides an appropriate vehicle for stating this Government's roads policy.
