HC Deb 07 March 1995 vol 256 c152W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales which figures are being used by his Department for the cost-benefit analysis for the proposed Llanrwst bypass; if he will recalculate the cost-benefit analysis using the current figures submitted by a local group to his Department on 8 December 1994, and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

The cost-benefit analysis displayed at the 1993 public consultation on the proposed A470 Llanrwst bypass was based on a 1988 traffic survey. A further traffic survey is to be undertaken shortly and the results of that survey will be used in any recalculation of the analysis. The traffic information supplied by the local group is not statistically robust enough to be used in that way.
