1 High priority schemes on which it is planned to start work in the three years covered by the government's expenditure plans i.e. before April 1998.
2 Schemes which are being taken forward but are unlikely to start before April 1998 because of outstanding design and statutory procedures.
3 Schemes on which resources are not being committed to bring them to a start of works. These schemes will be reviewed annually with consideration given to adding them to the above categories or deleting them from the programme.
