§ Mr. Penhaligonasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will bring forward legislation to seek to make it compulsory to publish a draft order authorising the building of any highway.
§ Mr. William RodgersNo. The construction of trunk roads and their side roads, and motorways, already requires the publication of a draft order or scheme. Construction of other highways by county councils normally involve the publication of proposals under the planning Acts.
