HC Deb 24 May 1979 vol 967 c245W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Minister of Transport if he will publish the major road improvement schemes approved by his Department for the Greater London Council.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The Government do not approve individual local road schemes. They take account of each county's programme of schemes in deciding the total transport expenditure to accept for the purpose of calculating their transport supplementary grant. The Greater London Council's current programme envisages the start of 57 road schemes, costing over £ ½ million, between 1977–78 and 1983–84. I will send the hon. Member the list.
