Letter from John Kerman to Mr. David Faber, dated 7 June 2000:
The Transport Minister, Keith Hill, has asked the Acting Chief Executive of the Highways Agency, Mr. Peter Nutt, to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the Agency's proposals for the disposal of Landau Cottage, Upton Lovell, Warminster. I am replying in the absence of Peter Nutt.The Highways Agency has no current proposals for the disposal of Landau Cottage.The route of the withdrawn A36 Codford to Heytesbury scheme remains protected whilst the Government office for the South West carries out a study of the A36/A46 route which, between the M4 and the M27 motorways, is currently part of our non-core network. Disposal is ruled out while protection remains in place.
