HC Deb 16 December 1969 vol 793 c288W
100. Mr. Allason

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is using the same system of assessing alternative routes in his consideration of the A41 Watford to Tring bypass as he is using for the M40 route through Oxfordshire.

Mr. Bob Brown

Alternative routes on all schemes are assessed on the basis of traffic and engineering needs, with due regard to costs and benefits, and the requirements of local and national planning and of agriculture.
