HC Deb 01 December 1982 vol 33 c197W
29. Mr. Aitken

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to put forward proposals for introducing private finance for road building; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

I hope an acceptable scheme for the private funding of road construction will emerge from our current discussions with the industry and the City. If so, we will try it out in practice next year.
