HC Deb 17 February 1992 vol 204 cc66-7W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether a full environmental impact assessment has been carried out for the various suggested alternatives for the Leicester eastern district distributor road.

Mr. Yeo

I am advised that Leicestershire county council as the highway authority responsible is taking environmental considerations into account in examining a number of alternatives for this road. When the route is finalised the county council, as planning authority, will consider the need for an environmental statement.
