§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what assessment he has made of the compatibility of the Government's support for(a) Trans-European road networks and (b) road traffic reduction measures. [31925]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThe Ireland/UK/Benelux section of the Trans-European Road Network forms a key trade link between the mainland of Europe, the UK and Ireland. Within the UK, the network consists of well-established major routes. Our support for the Network in no way precludes consideration of traffic reduction measures as part of an integrated transport policy.
