HC Deb 09 March 1978 vol 945 cc751-2W
Mr. George Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if the £160 million underspent in his Department in the last two years will be added to next year's road programme estimates.

Mr. William Rodgers

The estimated underspend on construction of trunk roads and local authority roads in England for the two years 1976–77 and 1977–78 is £77 million. Following normal practice, resources which have not been used in one year cannot be carried over to a future year.
