HC Deb 02 February 1981 vol 998 c46W
Mr. Penhaligon

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list for each of the last 10 years the expenditure in Cornwall on trunk road developments and indicate the projected level of expenditure over the next five years, all at 1980 prices.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The figures for 1971–72 to 1981–82 are as follows:

£m. at 1980 prices
1971–72 1.5
1972–73 1.5
1973–74 9.5
1974–75 24.5
1975–76 31.0
1976–77 20.0
1977–78 9.0
1978–79 3.5
1979–80 2.0
1980–81 0.75
1981–82 0.75
Estimated.

It is not possible to forcast expenditure in particular counties further ahead since the timing of individual schemes depends on progress with design and statutory procedures and on other demands on the available resources.
