§ Mr. PikeTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has any proposals to review the longer-term road needs of the north-west region with particular regard to the primary route network.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyWe constantly monitor conditions on the existing trunk road and motorway network. In addition I agreed at the recent regional annual consultative committee meeting held in Kendal that the Department would co-operate with the working party which local authorities are to set up to examine road investment needs in the north-west.
