HC Deb 03 May 1988 vol 132 c409W
Mr. Michael Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when his regional director for Yorkshire and Humberside will be replying to the letter dated 25 April from the director of technical services of Humberside county council; and if a copy of this reply will be sent to the hon. Member for Brigg and Cleethorpes.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

He will do so shortly. A copy will be sent to my hon. Friend.

Mr. Michael Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport why there is a delay in the issuing of grant approval for the A15 Brigg and Redbourne bypass.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Grant approval should be issued shortly after the necessary financial approvals have been obtained. We need to be sure that, in the light of the recently notified substantial increase in the estimated cost, the scheme represents value for money.
