§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) which body is responsible for drawing up the proposal for the A3 improvements at Hindhead; and if he will publish the schedule for the necessary decisions and announcements relating to that proposal; [70809]
(2) when he plans to visit Hindhead to examine the A3 and its effects on business and the environment. [70808]
§ Mr. PrescottI have no plans currently to visit Hindhead. We already recognise that there is a serious congestion problem there and, in December of last year, announced our intention that an A3 Hindhead study would form part of a group of road based studies proposed to start within the next two years.
