HC Deb 01 December 1982 vol 33 c199W
50. Mr. Neale

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the percentage change in spending expressed in real terms on motorways and trunk roads between 1978–79 and 1982–83.

Mr. David Howell

Estimates of outturn and price movements suggest that total expenditure in 1982–83 will be about 17 per cent. more in real terms than in 1978–79.
