HC Deb 19 February 1990 vol 167 c588W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what is the present target date for completing dualling of the A30 in(a) Cornwall and (b) Devon; and if he will make a statement;

(2) what progress has been made in drawing up plans for dualling the whole of the A30 in (a) Cornwall and (b) Devon; and if he will make a statement;

(3) whether the review of plans for the dualling of the A30 in (a) Cornwall and (b) Devon, promised in the White Paper, "Roads for Prosperity", has been completed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

Dualling of the A30 in Devon, west of Exeter, is planned to be completed by the end of 1993.

Current plans for the improvement of the A30 in Cornwall do not provide for dual carriageways throughout, but the assessment of needs of the whole route foreshadowed in "Roads for Prosperity", which will start later this year, will include consideration of the need for further dualling.
