asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is satisfied that co-ordination between the Department of the Environment and his Department is adequate to ensure that information of the Government's moratorium on road improvement projects in Worthing will not result in an increase rather than a reduction of public expenditure.

There is no question of co-ordination on this issue as it is entirely a matter for this Department. A moratorium involves a deferment, not necessarily a reduction of public expenditure.
