158 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment the cost of the recently published roads bulletin; and the reason the money was not spent on the upgrading of roads.
The cost of the bulletin was £19,247, including VAT of £1,657. While the cost was met from the administrative budget provision of my Department's Vote, rather than from the provision for roads, the sum involved represents about 0.005 per cent of the Department's expenditure on roads and related services last year.
