§ Mr. OttawayTo ask, the Secretary of State for Transport how much has been spent on road improve-ments in the London borough of Croydon in the last five years.
§ Mr. NorrisMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport is highway authority for the A23 trunk road in Croydon: other roads in the areaa are the responsibility of the London Borough. Expenditure on improvement works, excluding fees, on the A23 in the borough in each financial year was as follows:
£ 1988–89 814,055 1989–90 2,119,069 1990–91 2,199,430 1991–92 203,094 1992–93 1156,240 1 provisional Expenditure in the first three years, in particular, is not typical because it includes the cost of a major national trunk road improvement.
