§ Mr. IllsleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the total amount of public money spent on(a) roads and (b) motorways from 1961 to the present date.
§ Mr. ChopeThe total amount spent on all public roads in England from 1961–62 to 1989–90 was £39 billion—£96 billion at 1989–90 prices. It is not possible, except at disproportionate cost, to produce a comparable figure for motorways.
