Motorways (Hansard, 10 July 1996)

§ Mr. Watts

All motorway widening schemes are subject to public consultation and statutory procedures when details of cost-benefit analysis and environmental and traffic impact assessments are available for public scrutiny and debate.

The following motorway widening schemes are currently in the programme.

194W

All will be subject to the preparatory processes including environmental assessment, cost-benefit analysis and, depending on the weight and nature of any objections received, a public inquiry.

Those marked with an asterisk are in the longer-term category to be brought forward only after substantial progress has been made with the main programme.
