§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action he has taken on the Transport Research Laboratory technical paper TD/TP/173/92 about the patronage of businesses on the A1 red route.
§ Mr. NorrisI have noted with interest that the shopping activity section of the technical paper reproduces the findings published in the autumn monitoring report on the red route pilot scheme. Those findings support the view that trading activity depends more on the type of business being conducted and the economic climate than on red route measures.
§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish his Department's estimates of the change in patronage of businesses along the Al red route between its opening and the latest available date.
§ Mr. NorrisAll monitoring reports including surveys of shopping activity at sites along the pilot red route have been published and copied to the hon. Member.
