HC Deb 19 April 1978 vol 948 cc192-3W
Mr. Fry

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will set out in the Official Report a table showing the latest estimates of underspending on motorway and trunk road construction, motorway and trunk road maintenance, local road construction and local road maintenance

£ million (1977 survey prices) Percentage
1976–77 1977–78 1976–77 1977–78
Motorway and Trunk Road Construction -23 -40 - 6 -14
Motorway and Trunk Road Maintenance - 8 + 2 -11 + 2
Local Road Construction -27 + 13 - 9 + 6
Local Road Maintenance -20 -15 - 5 - 4

It is too early to anticipate the level of spending that will be achieved in 1978–79.
