Letter from Richard Thorndike to Dr. Evan Harris, dated 28 July 2000
The Transport Minister, Keith Hill, has asked me to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the cost of resurfacing the A30 near Exeter.Although the Government is firmly committed to resurfacing this road, the road is privately financed and we have yet to discuss the matter with the operating company.
