Mr. Whitlock
asked the Secretary of State for Transport when the English trunk road programme will be completed at current rates of expenditure.
Mrs. Chalker
I expect almost all the schemes in the current main programme and reserve lists to be completed or under construction by the end of the decade, and most schemes on which work has been temporarily suspended could also be started by the early 1990s. The programme is, however, subject to revision from time to time.
