§ Sir Thomas ArnoldTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his new revised timetable for the building and completion of the A6(M) Stockport north-south bypass. [21993]
§ Mr. WattsThis is an operational matter for the Highways Agency. I have asked its chief executive to write to my hon. Friend.
Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Sir Thomas Arnold, dated 9 May 1995:
The Minister for Railways and Roads, Mr John Watts, has asked me to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking the Secretary of State for Transport, what is his revised timetable for the building and completion of the A6(M) Stockport North-South Bypass.The next stage for this scheme will be the publication of Orders followed by a public inquiry. It will take us some time to prepare for this and at this stage I cannot give you an indication of the dates. Progress of the scheme will be dependent on detailed investigations, design work, statutory procedures and availability of resources. I hope you will understand that these uncertainties preclude me from making any worthwhile predictions about the programme in the longer term.
