HC Deb 23 March 1989 vol 149 c704W
Sir Eldon Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has completed his review of the trunk road network; and if he is now in a position to improve the A11 trunk road through Elveden, Suffolk.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The review of the trunk road programme is still in progress. Possible improvements to the A11 are being considered along with many other candidates for inclusion. Each must compete on its merits for a share of the resources available.

We expect to make an announcement later in the spring. I could not say more about the prospects for particular proposals before then.

We shall look separately at the possibility of shorter term improvement of the junction of the A11 and the B1106 at Elveden when we receive the report from Suffolk county council to which I referred in my reply to my hon. Friend on 14 March 1989 at column 205.
