Mr. Fitch

asked the Minister of Transport what is the decline between 1980–81 and 1979–80, in real terms, in the maintenance budget for trunk roads other than motorways.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The maintenance budget has been reduced by £13.7 million from £50.3 million in 1979–80 to planned expenditure of £36.6 million for 1980–81. Both figures are at November 1979 prices.
