§ Mr. Roy HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list by local highway authority in England(a) the provision for expenditure in the 1987 public expenditure White Paper and (b) the forecast outturn at the time of the Autumn Statement for (i) capital spending on non-trunk roads and car parks in 1987–88 and (ii) current spending on non-trunk road maintenance in 1987–88.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe 1987 public expenditure White Paper provision in respect of 1987–88 for:
- capital expenditure in England on non-trunk roads and parking is £617 million; and
- current expenditure in England on non-trunk road maintenance is £1,264 million
No breakdown of these plans is made by individual highway authority as individual authorities decide their levels of expenditure and priorities. The information available, at the time of the autumn Economic Statement, on authorities' expenditure in 1987–88 is as follows:
