HC Deb 19 March 1984 vol 56 cc333-4W
33. Mr. Fry

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has any plans to change the present methods of public inquiries into new road schemes.

Mr. Ridley

I shall be considering whether any changes are necessary when I have received the views of the civil engineering economic development committee on the report which it commissioned on pre-construction procedures for motorway and trunk road schemes. I would be pleased to hear my hon. Friend's views on this report, and am arranging for him to be sent a copy.
