HC Deb 21 October 1976 vol 917 c517W
Mr. Higgins

asked the Secretary of State for Transport why he cannot now publish the results of the questionnaire issued by his Department on the alternative routes for the future development of the A27 in the Worthing area.

Mr. Horam

A decision on the preferred route involves consideration of engineering and economic factors, and the views of interested bodies, as well as those of individual members of the public expressed through the questionnaire. To publish the questionnaire results alone would be misleading and could intensify problems of blight.
