HC Deb 02 May 2000 vol 349 c4W
Mr. Oaten

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) what representations he has received on the building of Whitley Way in Hampshire; [120271]

(2) what estimate his Department has made of the costs of purchasing land to build Whitley Way in Hampshire. [120270]

Ms Beverley Hughes

As the Whitley Way is proposed as a local distributor road it is for the local planning and highway authorities to decide whether it should be built. This Department has therefore made no estimate of the associated costs. The Department has received a small number of representations about this road.
