HC Deb 19 May 1994 vol 243 cc546-7W
Mr. Sykes

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what advice he has received in relation to the viability of the A64 upgrading.

Mr. Key

The recent review of the national roads programme assessed all schemes against economic, strategy and environmental criteria. Because of their lower priority compared with other schemes nationally, the A64 York to Malton and Malton to Seamer schemes have been categorised "longer term". They will be placed temporarily in abeyance until schemes with a higher priority have been delivered.
