HC Deb 12 November 1984 vol 67 cc106-7W
35. Mr. Moynihan

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether his Department has considered an effective system of cost benefit analysis for major roadworks on motorways.

Mrs. Chalker

We use sophisticated surveying techniques to determine when major motorway maintenance works are needed and the most cost-effective treatment required. In planning the works we always take account of the cost of traffic disruption.
