To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list the(a) new roads and (b) road improvement projects which were announced in the roads review for which the statutory undertaker plans to apply for funding support from the EU. [65479]

Ms Glenda Jackson

The bids put forward by the Highways Agency for funding in 1999 relate to route management strategies and telematics projects. The European Commission is considering these at present. New roads and road improvement projects announced in the Roads Review will be considered, when appropriate, for bids in future years.
