HC Deb 17 May 1978 vol 950 cc195-6W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has received any tender for construction of the A3 Burpham-Ladymead diversion—Guildford bypass—which could involve significant use of the British Railways goods yard at Woking.

Mr. Horam

No tenders for this scheme have yet been received.

Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the closing date for the receipt of tenders for construction of the A3 Burpham-Ladymead diversion—Guildford bypass.

Mr. Horam

26th June 1978.

Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what studies have been available to his Department in the preparatory work for the construction of the A3 Burpham-Ladymead diversion—Guildford bypass—of the effect of this on the flood plain of the River Wey, both above and below the proposed embankment; and if he is satisfied that these studies are adequate.

Mr. Horam

From the earliest design stage of this scheme, the Department has relied on the expert advice of the Thames Conservancy and its successor, the Thames Water Authority, which has statutory responsibility for land drainage matters connected with the River Wey and which has given its approval to the proposed works.
