HC Deb 22 November 1994 vol 250 c122W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy to introduce design standards for the construction of new bypasses that provide only for the traffic flows which will be diverted from the town or village bypassed, not for further large growth of traffic.

Mr. Watts

To achieve the planned environmental benefits, bypasses must be designed in accordance with the best available assessment of future traffic flows.
