HC Deb 17 June 1981 vol 6 c372W
25. Mr. Peter Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what expenditure there has been in Tayside region on trunk roads in the last three years; and what is the anticipated expenditure in 1981–82 and 1982–83.

Mr. Rifkind

Expenditure on construction and improvement, maintenance and lighting of trunk roads in Tayside region totalled £76.4 million in the last three years. About £22 million is expected to be spent in the current year 1981–82. But it is too soon to forecast the amount of expenditure in 1982–83.
