HL Deb 16 March 1976 vol 369 cc206-9WA
Lord AVEBURY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will give the titles of First Programme Reports approved for highway schemes to start in each of the years covered by the public expenditure White Paper, Cmnd. 6393.

The PARLIAMENTARY UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE, DEPARTMENT of the ENVIRONMENT (Baroness Birk)

On the assumption that the noble Lord is asking about schemes in the trunk road programme firmly programmed by my right honourable friend, the answer is as follows. The actual dates on which work will start on these schemes are of course dependent on any financial constraints obtaining at the time, and in some cases on the completion of the necessary statutory procedures.
