§ Mr. Fisherasked the Secretary of State for Transport what sums are intended to be expended on trunk road improvement in Staffordshire in the financial years 1984–85, 1985–86 and 1986–87, respectively.
§ Mrs. ChalkerFunds for new road construction and improvements are not allocated by county, but to individual schemes on the bases of priority and state of readiness. Our programme contains a number of schemes in Staffordshire, both under construction and in preparation. It is, however, not possible at this stage to forecast how much will be spent on these schemes in each of the years mentioned.
