HL Deb 10 June 1997 vol 580 c72WA
Lord Lucas

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they consider that most of the traffic improvements posited for the new Salisbury bypass could be achieved by a programme of improvements to existing roads.

Baroness Hayman

Various alternatives to the proposed Salisbury bypass were considered during the 1993/94 public inquiry, including improvement of the existing A.36. We will consider these, together with all other relevant matters, when we come to take a final decision on the bypass.
