To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on his Department's south coast corridor multi-modal study. [133315]

Mr. Hill

Today I have announced the Steering Group membership and Terms of Reference for this important study, which will investigate congestion, safety and environmental problems on the south coast between Southampton and Thanet, and propose measures aimed at improving access to and between the regeneration areas and other areas of economic activity along the south coast. The study is expected to be completed in the spring of 2002.
