HC Deb 02 July 1999 vol 334 c302W
Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will make a statement on the current status of his proposals for Stonehenge. [89434]

Janet Anderson

Our proposals for improving the setting and presentation of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site continue to make excellent progress, thanks to co-operation across Government and the support of English Heritage, the National Trust and other interested parties. On 23 April, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State formally launched both the Master Plan for the site and the marketing process for development of the proposed new visitor centre. On 25 June, my noble Friend, the Minister for Roads announced the preferred route for the A303 improvement scheme, which will remove traffic from the vicinity of the monument.
