HC Deb 13 April 1981 vol 3 c68W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish the individual county results on the national road condition survey 1980.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. I would have no objection to such publication, but the survey is produced jointly with county councils. Some counties—whose continued contributions are essential to the future of the survey—are not persuaded that publication of individual county results would be helpful.
