HC Deb 30 October 1989 vol 159 c89W
43. Mr. Page

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the progress of the A41 bypass inquiry.

Mr. Atkins

Public inquiries into the A41 Berkhamsted and King's Langley bypasses finished in September 1988 after 48 sitting days. The considerable volume of evidence put forward is being carefully considered in the light of the independent inspector's report and recommendations. The Secretaries of State for the Environment and for Transport will announce their joint decision as soon as possible.
