HC Deb 03 July 1997 vol 297 cc252-3W
Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans the Government have to provide funding for alternative measures to address the environmental and transport problems which originally gave rise to road schemes dropped following the roads programme review; what the priorities will be for transport expenditure in that respect; and if he will make a statement. [5962]

Ms Glenda Jackson

We are currently taking forward our review of the roads programme. No decisions have yet been taken on specific schemes. The review will be very closely co-ordinated with the work on an integrated transport policy and the comprehensive spending review. Future funding of transport will be a major consideration of this work.
