HC Deb 03 June 1997 vol 295 c170W
Mr. David Heath

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what priority his Department affords the proposed A359 to A303 slip road at Sparkford; and when he expects construction to begin. [1565]

Ms Glenda Jackson

The A359 to A303 westbound slip road and connection is to be progressed as a Regional improvement and part of the Highways Agency's Network Enhancement Programme. It will be subject to the normal statutory procedures, including a public inquiry if there are objections to the draft Orders.
