HC Deb 24 January 1997 vol 288 c765W
Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many stage 1 corridor assessments were undertaken by his Department between 1992 and 1996; and if he will(a) list and (b) publish these assessments. [12457]

Mr. Watts

None. Stage 1 assessment reports for completely new schemes entering the national trunk road programme were introduced in August 1993. There have been no introductions of new schemes, in need of a Stage 1 assessment, into the national roads programme since then.
