§ Dr. WrightTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the number of jobs that will be created by the Birmingham northern relief road during construction in toll operation and in motorway service areas.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleThe concessionaire, Midland Expressway Ltd., estimates that the road will generate well over 500 on-site jobs during each year of construction; 220 to 270 full-time jobs when the road is operating at capacity; and the equivalent of a further 200 to 250 full-time jobs when the motorway service area opens.
