§ Sir Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is his policy in regard to the attraction of private investment into the construction of bypasses on trunk roads where traffic relief can be achieved for local communities.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe Department of Transport has considered a number of options for attracting private investment into new construction schemes on trunk roads, but none has yet been found satisfactory. Any further proposals put forward would be given serious consideration. My right hon. Friend is writing to my hon. Friend about improvements to the A11 at Red Lodge in his constituency.
