HL Deb 29 July 1997 vol 582 cc26-7WA
Lord Marlesford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish in the Official Report a list of all motorway and trunk road schemes which are at present in the United Kingdom road programme, indicating in each case the primary purpose of the scheme, the estimated final cost, the stage reached where construction has not started and the start date and planned completion date of those under construction.

Baroness Hayman

I have asked the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency, Mr. Lawrie Haynes, to write to the noble Lord.

Letter to Lord Marlesford from the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency, Mr. L. Haynes, dated 29 July 1997.

The Minister for Roads has asked to reply to your request to publish in the Official Report a list of all motorway and trunk road schemes which are at present in the United Kingdom road programme, indicating in each case the primary purpose of the scheme, the estimated final cost, the stage reached where construction has not started and the start date and planned completion date of those under construction.

Ministers published on 28 July the consultation document, What Role for Trunk Roads in England?, which contains all the information you have requested. This is a substantial document, too large to be included in the Official Report. I am therefore arranging for a copy to be sent to you.
