HC Deb 02 December 1992 vol 215 cc203-4W
Mr. Clifton-Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the level of liaison between highway authorities when one highway authority is proposing a road scheme that has an indirect effect on a neighbouring authority.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

The level of liaison is a matter for authorities themselves to determine. In deciding whether to accept a particular scheme for transport supplementary grant support, the Secretary of State considers all aspects including the supporting information provided in the authority's transport policies and programme submission.
