HC Deb 23 June 1998 vol 314 c437W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what extra funding will be provided for increasing the capacity of the M6 following the decision to proceed with the Birmingham Northern Relief Road. [46845]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Decisions on increasing the capacity of the M6 are independent of the decision to proceed with the Birmingham Northern Relief Road. More generally, funding for investment in trunk roads is being considered in the Roads Review and in the Comprehensive Spending Review. I cannot anticipate decisions in either of these Reviews.
