HL Deb 09 November 2000 vol 618 cc176-8WA
Baroness Scott of Needham Market

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will list all the major road schemes costing over £5 million included in the full Local Transport Plans submitted by local authorities; and whether they will place copies of the Appraisal Summary Tables for these, where submitted, in the Library of the House; and [HL4459]

Whether they will list all major road schemes by each local authority which cost over £5 million and which were submitted to the Government as supplementary bids to the full Local Transport Plan. [HL4460]

The Minister of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Lord Macdonald of Tradeston)

A total of 129 proposals for new major transport schemes were contained in the full Local Transport Plans submitted by local authorities in July this year. These include proposals for road, public transport, light rail and heavy rail schemes. A further 10 road schemes were submitted as supplementary bids in response to the opportunity that we extended to authorities to supply additional information in the light of the 10-Year Plan. The table shows all the schemes which are either road schemes or contain a major road element. Those which came forward as supplementary bids are shown in italics. Copies of the Appraisal Summary Tables for these schemes, where they have been provided, will be placed in the Library of the House.
