HC Deb 18 March 1981 vol 1 c118W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether the review of projects in connection with the Budget proposals will cause the decision to sanction the construction of the M54 to be reviewed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. Spending on the road programme is being maintained at broadly the level of 1979–80, while the petrol price increases are not such as to call for any revision of our long-term traffic forecasts.
