HC Deb 18 April 1995 vol 258 c60W
Mr. Legg

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress has been made in assessing if DBFO contracts could be extended to the whole road building programme. [18842]

Mr. Watts

Four DBFO projects were tendered on 9 January and expressions of interest in a further four were requested on 15 February. All contain road building schemes which have been legally authorised following completion of statutory procedures, including public inquiry. Much of the road programme is in earlier stages of preparation.
