HC Deb 14 January 1976 vol 903 c144W
38. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement about the most recent cuts in the roads programme.

Mr. Marks

Following the Budget Statement last year by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the road construction programme for 1976–77 was cut by about 8 per cent. Any changes in the programme for subsequent years will be announced in the forthcoming White Paper on Public Expenditure.
