HC Deb 18 November 1997 vol 301 c126W
30. Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will carry out preliminary administration procedures to minimise delay in road schemes on their release after publication of the current review.[14872]

Dr. Strang

We aim to avoid unnecessary delays to schemes approved in the Roads Review. Preparatory work on schemes is being taken forward to the end of the current stage so that they could be re-started without the need to repeat work.
