§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Why the inter-departmental study of the Stonehenge road problems conducted earlier this year did not examine the costs of a twin bored tunnel for the A.303. [HL98]
§ Lord WhittyThe study, commissioned for the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, explored a number of options for the A.303, alongside the option of a 2km cut and cover tunnel, that were affordable and deliverable within the constraints imposed by the site. Earlier consideration had shown that a twin bored tunnel would be prohibitively expensive.
