motorway and trunk roads expected to be completed for (i) the M25 London orbital route and (ii) all other routes and (b) miles of motorway and trunk road expected to be reconstructed.

Mrs. Chalker

On new construction, subject to completion of the statutory procedures we currently aim to complete 394 miles of motorway and trunk roads in England including the M25 in the years in question. They are as follows:

M25 Other Motorways and Trunk Roads Totals
1982–83 12 71 83
1983–84 22 62 84
1984–85 21 55 76
1985–86 28 123 151
Totals 83 311 394

On reconstruction, in 1982–83, and in each of the following three years our major repair programme should result in the structural renewal, including overlaying, of the equivalent of about 70 miles of dual threelane motorway and about 30 miles of dual two lane non-motorway trunk road.
