HC Deb 11 November 1997 vol 300 c519W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list total Government spending on the(a) M4, (b) A55, (c) A470 and (d) A487 in current real value prices, for (i) each year since 1970 and (ii) in total. [14688]

Mr. Hain

The information on expenditure is not held centrally for each individual road in the Welsh trunk road network as much of the work on these roads is carried out by local authorities acting as trunk road agents for the Welsh Office.

Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list total Government spending planned for each of the next five financial years and the current financial year on the(a) M4, (b) A55, (c) A470 and (d) A487 expressed in current real value, indicating the cumulative total planned. [14687]

Mr. Hain

Spending plans for the current financial year are detailed in the 1997 Welsh Office Departmental Report, copies of which are available in the Library of the House. Plans for the next and subsequent financial years will be published following the outcome of the relevant Public Expenditure Survey deliberations.
