HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 cc472-3W
Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will summarise his Department's major expenditure programmes for infra-structural improvement in the wool textile district of the Yorkshire and Humberside region.

Mr. Peter Walker

The programme of major road works for which I am the highway authority involves expenditure of £63.1 million for M62, A58 and A629/650. Other expenditure, including expenditure by local authorites, is being and will be incurred on new housing and housing improvement, water and sewerage, clean air, town centre development and the reclamation of derelict land, but separate programmes related to the wool textile district are not identifilable.
