§ Mr. Higginsasked the Secretary of State for Transport how many applications for the transfer of cherished number plates he expects to be dealt with by the staff concerned at the Driver and 180W orbital road through any part of the Kidderminster constituency; whether a feasibility study is in hand; and, if so, what stage it has reached.
§ Mr. HoramWe are carrying out a feasibility study into the need for an orbital route west of Birmingham. It is too early to say whether any new scheme or schemes will be justified or whether they will affect the Kidderminster constituency. My right hon. Friend hopes to announce the results next year.
