HC Deb 06 February 1995 vol 254 c51W
Mr. Mike O'Brien

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what are the implications of the standing advisory committee on trunk road assessments report on the Birmingham northern relief road project.

Mr. Watts

After considering the Government's response to the SACTRA report on generated traffic and the Department's formal guidance, the BNRR public inquiry has been provided with a statement identifying how the Department views the impacts of SACTRA's findings. It is now for the inspector to consider that statement and the results of the on-going work which it identifies.

I am satisfied that the inquiry is the proper forum to consider any implications.
