HC Deb 14 November 1991 vol 198 cc649-51W
Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if he will list the trunk road schemes in the United Kingdom for which environmental impact assessments have been prepared under EC directive 85/337/EEC since it came into force on 21 July 1988;

(2) if he will list the trunk road schemes for which draft line orders have been published since 21 July 1988, but which he deemed did not require environmental impact assessment under EC directive 85/337/88.
