§ Dr. Godmanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what further proposals he has for improving the transport infrastructure in Scotland in general and Inverclyde in particular.
§ Mr. AncramMy right hon. and learned Friend has made provision in 1986–87 of £77 million for new construction and improvements in the trunk road network, and £18 million for structural repair work. He has provided allocations of £159 million for local authority capital expenditure on roads and transport, The Scottish Transport Group plans capital expenditure in the year of £22 million. Substantial provision has also been made for revenue expenditure on roads and for subsidy to public transport services.
The details are set out in the "Scottish Commentary on Public Expenditure," a copy of which was sent to the hon. Member. If the hon. Member has in mind a particular issue concerning Inverclyde, he may care to write to me.
