HC Deb 17 April 1989 vol 151 c3W
Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what decisions he has reached about the proposed changes in the A50 road through Stoke-on-Trent; and if a date has been arranged for the consequent inquiry.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Final design is being undertaken to enable publication of the complete package of draft statutory orders in November this year. Arrangements for an inquiry cannot be made until objections are known. If one is necessary for this scheme we would expect it to take place in the spring of 1990.
