HC Deb 14 July 1971 vol 821 cc83-4W
22. Mr. Galbraith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what will be the estimated expenditure on building and improving principal roads in Scotland during the year 1971–72, and how this compares with the actual expenditure in each of the last two years.

Mr. Younger

Including local authorities' own contribution, between £22 million and £23 million in 1971–72, compared with £16.3 million in 1970–71 and £15.3 million in 1969–70. This takes no account of expenditure which will be stimulated by the programme which my right hon. Friend announced yesterday of additional road works in Scotland to help unemployment.
