HC Deb 18 July 1979 vol 970 c749W
42. Mr. Eggar

asked the Minister of Transport what revisions he proposes to make in forecasts of the need for road building programmes in the light of higher petrol prices and lower forecasts of growth in gross domestic product.

Mr. Fowler

The recent changes in petrol prices and forecasts of GDP are not outside the range provided for in the national traffic forecasts published in January 1978. These are, however, kept under constant review.
