Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.
In regard to the roads aspect of his brief, I fully support the roads programme in the national development plan. We should be without illusions as traffic expands to fill available road space. One of the real difficulties is not so much the finance per se as the capacity constraints on the construction industry which have rapidly pushed up the cost of roads. Even if we had unlimited finance, there is some restraint on what we can do at a particular time.
