Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions to what extent mining subsidence caused the damage being repaired currently on the A42/M42; and what is the total cost of this work. [11318]

Ms Glenda Jackson

I have asked the chief executive of the Highways Agency to write my hon. Friend.

Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mr. Paddy Tipping, dated 30 July 1997: The Minister for Transport in London has asked me to reply to your recent parliamentary question about the A42/M42. The A42 runs through a mining area and some settlement was expected. The cost of levelling the road is about £500,000. Further settlement is possible.
