HC Deb 30 November 1987 vol 123 c429W
54. Mr. Jack

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress is being made on the motorway repair programme.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Record progress is being made. The Department is on course to renew 84 miles of motorway and 218 miles of other trunk roads this year. We intend to renew over the next three years some 240 miles of motorway and 600 miles of other trunk roads. We plan to eliminate the backlog of capital works by 1992.
