§ Dr. SummerskillThe following table gives the information readily available about the number of complaints made and the number of cases in which criminal or disciplinary charges resulting from complaints were brought, in each of the years 1969–75.

§ Mr. HoramI regret that detailed figures are not readily available. Assuming an average land take of 20 acres per mile, English trunk road motorways took just under 11,000 acres between 1971–76 and are expected to take about 1,100 acres this year. Roads in the rest of the United Kingdom are the responsibility of the respective Secretaries of State.
