HC Deb 15 November 1977 vol 939 c159W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the method of economic evaluation which has been carried out on all the proposed routes between Hunton Bridge and South Mimms; and whether that economic evaluation enables him to assess the best economic return.

Mr. Horam

As I have informed the hon. Member by letter, only sufficient work is done at the stage of public consultation to confirm the economic viability of the alternatives put forward. The information is not in a form from which specific rates of return can be quoted.

Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if there was any proposed route for the London Outer Orbital Road between Hunton Bridge and South Mimms which was cheaper than those proposed by his Department at this stage; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Horam

No.
