HC Deb 23 January 1980 vol 977 cc298-300W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Minister of Transport, further to his answer given to the question tabled by the hon. Member for Lichfield and Tamworth on 28 June 1979, when he expects to announce whether road construction units are to be phased out and their work handed over to county councils on an agency basis.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

My right hon. Friend expects to announce fairly shortly what steps he proposes to take following the study of road construction units.
