§ Mr. David MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to increase transport expenditure in Scotland.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonMy right hon. Friend has made provision in 1991–92 totalling £375 million for expenditure on roads and transport by central Government and for capital expenditure by local authorities. Although expenditure provision in 1991–92 will be lower than in 1990–91 it has risen substantially in recent years.
