§ Mr. Robert BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he will announce his conclusions on the inspector's report into the alterations to the A1 between Wetherby and Dishforth; and when work will commence on these improvements.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe Secretaries of State for Transport and the Environment hope to announce their decision in the summer.
It is too early to give a reliable estimate of when works will commence. The date depends upon the time needed to complete the outstanding statutory procedures, which include publication of the compulsory purchase order.
