§ Mr. Donald Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the expenditure on roads per head of population in Scotland, Norway and Germany in the last available year.
§ Mr. McElhoneI have been asked to reply.
The figures, based on the average daily exchange rates of the £ sterling, are:
Scotland 1975–76 £35 Norway 1975 £99 West Germany 1975 £56 The information for Norway and West Germany is derived from the Annual Bulletin of Transport Statistics for Europe (1977) published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and may not be wholly comparable with that for Scotland.
