§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Transport which road schemes have been assumed for forecasting or any other purpose to be built by his Department, which do not appear in the roads White Paper 1981–82.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe schemes which are planned to be built by or at the expense of this Department are all listed in Policy for Roads: England 1981 and Roads: England 1982. Our forecasts take account of the latest prospects for such schemes, as their place in the programme changes over time. We keep the longer term programme under review, and take account of additional projects as they emerge.
47WWe also take into account the known proposals for the improvement of the local highway network, when this is relevant to particular trunk road schemes or highway and transport planning generally.
