To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received concerning the proposed southern and western motorway and the proposed slip road linking it with the A59; what consultations he has had with Lancashire county council on the proposals; and what environmental matters he has taken into consideration in planning the motorway alignment.

Mr. Chope
