HC Deb 17 July 1973 vol 860 c86W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what effect the recent reduction in public expenditure will have on the timetable for the construction of road improvement schemes on the main Hull to York road and on the access roads to the coastal resorts in the East and North Ridings of Yorkshire.

Mr. Speed

Schemes on these routes are at varying stages of preparation. It is, therefore, not possible to generalise on the effect of the recent cuts in public expenditure on them.

On the future trunk road programme, I have nothing further to add to the answer my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Hallam (Mr. J. H. Osborn) on 3rd July.—[Vol. 859. c. 92–95.]
