HC Deb 22 July 1991 vol 195 c335W
Mr. Speed

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what percentage of trunk roads and motorways completed for his Department over the past three years have been finished in concrete and blacktop, respectively.

Mr. Chope

Of the 400 km of trunk roads and motorways which have been completed since 1 August 1988, about 10 per cent. have a concrete surface. The remaining 90 per cent. have a black-top surface, and of these a significant proportion use concrete within the construction.
