HC Deb 26 July 1990 vol 177 c397W
Dr. Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his latest estimate of the start date of the Egremont bypass; what slippage has occurred in the commencement of the work; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chope

Work is expected to start in the spring next year. We have had to postpone the planned start to prepare a compulsory purchase order on a factory which has been built recently, without planning permission, on the line of the road.

Dr. Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what errors have occurred concerning compulsory purchase orders issued in connection with the Egremont bypass; and what delays have resulted.

Mr. Chope

No delays have resulted from errors in the compulsory purchase orders.
