HC Deb 07 May 1993 vol 224 c255W
Mr. Hunter

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a further statement on the measures which he has introduced and is intending to introduce to increase developer contributions to road improvements.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

My right hon. Friend published a consultation document last August following an efficiency scrutiny report on developers' contributions to highway works. This set out proposals to facilitate developments that otherwise may be postponed or prevented because of inadequate road capacity. The responses to the consultation document are still being examined. A further statement will be made once that examination has been concluded.
