HC Deb 04 July 1994 vol 246 cc66-9W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the 20 contractors who have received the largest share of motorway and trunk road contracts in the financial year April 1991 to April 1992, giving for each contractor the value of the contracts received.

Mr. Key

Since 1 April, responsibility for managing maintaining and improving the national road network in England has rested with the Highways Agency. As the information requested by the hon. Member relates to these responsibilities, I have asked the chief executive to write to the hon. Member.

Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Ms Joan Walley, dated 30 June 1994 You put down a Parliamentary Question for answer by the Secretary of State for Transport asking him to list the 20 contractors who received the largest share of motorway and trunk road contracts in the financial year April 1991 to April 1992, giving for each contractor the value of the contracts received. As the information you asked for concerns operational matters for which the Highways Agency is now responsible, as promised by the Minister, Robert Key, I am replying to your Question. The information requested (but excluding contracts below £1m in value for which records are not currently held centrally) is set out in the attached tables.
