§ Mr. RaynsfordTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the total expenditure on(a) construction, (b) maintenance and (c) improvements to (i) trunk roads and (ii) motorways in Greater London in each year since 1978 at both current and constant 1992–93 prices; and what is his planned expenditure in the years up to and including 1996–97.
§ Mr. NorrisSpend on major trunk road schemes and trunk road and motorway maintenance in London (including land costs, preparation costs and VAT where appropriate) from 1982–83 onwards is given in the table.
§ Mr. NorrisThe table gives the information available. It lists trunk road improvement and new construction schemes in progress in London. Works costs are at 1992–93 prices and include preparation, Iand and VAT as appropriate. No indices are available for the forecast expenditure comparable with 1992–93.
The large number of individual small projects in the maintenance programme make it impossible to itemise spend except at disproportionate cost. The forecast expenditure for maintenance for 1993–94 is £61.7 million.
