§ Mr. VazTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proportion of the £3.462 million spent on the Leicester A46/A47 was for stage I design and construction. [38919]
§ Mr. NorrisThere is no requirement for the expenditure figures to be split between stages 1 and 2 and this information is not held by my Department. When the A46/A47 link road scheme was first accepted for transport supplementary grant it was for the entire scheme. The phasing of the scheme is entirely a matter for the local authority, Leicestershire county council.
