§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he now expects any major trunk road schemes in Suffolk and Norfolk to be progressed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. KeyA great deal is currently being progressed.
I recently announced a start of works on two schemes in Norfolk, A11 Besthorpe-Wymondham and A47 Walpole Tilney-Tilney High End. Construction also continues on the A140 Scole-Dickleburgh improvement. The eastern relief road in Lowestoft Market to Saxmundham were published on 1 March and a public inquiry into draft orders for A12 Hopton on Sea was held in January this year. Progress on other schemes is dependent upon the outcome of the review of the road programme. I hope to make an announcement on that soon.
