§ Mr. Robert Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how he proposes to implement the cut in the Scottish local authorities' road programme of expenditure as set out in the Government's proposals on public expenditure.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI propose, through my control of borrowing by local authorities, to apply slightly more restraint on their capital expenditure on improving minor roads, on street lighting and on car parks.
There is no reduction in the Scottish programme for trunk and principal roads.
