HC Deb 29 July 1988 vol 138 c774W
Mr. David Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy to ensure that the continuation of the Government's programme of schemes to improve the motorway and trunk road network will be complemented by provision to catch up the maintenance backlog by 1992.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We regularly review our programme. We shall consider the implications of the rephasing of capital maintenance announced in my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Hornchurch (Mr. Squire) on 20 June.
