§ Mr. MadelTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his latest position on the preferred line of route for the A5 north-south, Dunstable bypass; when he expects the public inquiry on this bypass to commence; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChopeWe hope to announce a preferred route for the bypass this spring. The scheme will then be designed in detail in preparation for the publication of draft orders. If at this stage objections remain we would expect a public inquiry to be held in late 1992.
