HC Deb 07 November 1974 vol 880 cc226-7W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a list of the major road works being financed by his Department and list any he proposes to postpone, in view of the current economic situation.

Mr. Mulley

A list of major trunk road schemes for which the Secretary of State is responsible is shown in "Roads in England 1973–74" published on 18th July 1974.

Reductions in trunk road expenditure in this financial year have been made by delaying the start of construction of some schemes. The priority of the remaining schemes will be determined following completion of the consultations now in hand on the first stage of the proposed lorry route network.
