§ Lord Marlesfordasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will list all those road schemes with an estimated cost of over £10 million which are still in the United Kingdom road programme, showing in respect of each the stage reached, the estimated final cost and the estimated completion date.
§ Viscount GoschenThis information has been compiled from the respective road programmes of the Department of Transport representing trunk roads in England and from the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Ireland Offices for trunk roads in those countries. The114WA information available is in varying formats and appears below.
For trunk roads in England, Table 1 shows those schemes under construction with their tender costs, Table 2 shows DBFOs and Table 3 lists schemes in the main programme. Estimated completion dates will depend upon the availability of funds and the satisfactory completion of statutory procedures.
For trunk roads in Wales, details are shown for those road schemes under construction, programmed or in preparation as published in the Welsh Office's Forward Trunk Road Programme, published in their departmental report for 1996. It does not include those schemes identified for longer term consideration where no resources are being applied at present. Further details of the revised forward programme will be published in the Welsh Office's departmental report for 1997 on 20 March.
