asked the Minister of Transport if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of all new major road projects which have been delayed as a result of the Government's recent economic measures, the cost of each project, and the savings expected during the first six months after these postponements.
The following is a list of new construction and major improvement schemes (on motorways, trunk and classified roads) which had target starting dates between August, 1965, and January, 1966, and which did not qualify for exemption from deferment.It is probable that the starting date of some of these projects would have been delayed for reasons unconnected with the Government's economic measures. Allowing for this, it is estimated that schemes to a total value of some £55 million (£48 million Exchequer, £7 million local authority) will have been subject to postponement as a result of these measures. It is estimated that the reducion in Exchequer expenditure in the financial year 1965–66 as a result of these postponements will be of the order of £7 million.
