HC Deb 12 December 1979 vol 975 c692W
62. Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the proposed Liverpool inner ring road has been considered by the Liverpool inner cities partnership committee.

Mr. Heseltine

The proposed inner ring road has been discussed on a number of occasions, including the last meeting on 2 November. The project is, however, the responsibility of Merseyside county council, which is the statutory highway authority. The partnership is not involved in the finance of the project.
