§ 40. Mr. Conlanasked the Secretary of State for Transport which trunk road schemes expected to start in 159W 1982–83, for which provision was made in the Supply Estimates, will not now be able to start before the end of the financial year.
§ Mrs. ChalkerOf the 45 new schemes for which provision was made in the 1982–83 Supply Estimates (Class VI, I), I estimate that contracts will have been let before the end of the financial year on all but 13. A list of these is as follows. By contrast, however, the volume of work on other schemes started or under construction in 1982–83 will be significantly higher than indicated in the Supply Estimates.
