Mr. Tom Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he received from British Coal concerning the line of route of the proposed A6 Disley-High lane bypass.

Mr. Atkins

British Coal mentioned the existence of shafts and shallow mine workings in the areas. It referred to potential opencast coal reserves along the purple, blue and orange routes and asked to be kept informed of progress on the scheme.

Mr. Tom Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he received from the National Trust concerning the line of route of the proposed A6 Disley-High lane bypass.

Mr. Atkins

The National Trust supported the Department's preferred brown route in so far as it avoided the trust's property at Lyme park. It agreed with the Department's reasons for rejecting the purple route.
