HC Deb 22 January 2001 vol 361 c456W
Mr. McLoughlin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if resurfacing of the concrete sections of the A50 at Doveridge in Derbyshire will take place in the financial year beginning in 2002. [145446]

Mr. Hill

I am not in a position to give any dates for the start of works for resurfacing of stretches of concrete trunk roads beyond the end of next financial year. The Highways Agency is currently seeking the views of English local authorities on the prioritisation criteria for resurfacing of all concrete trunk roads within the next 10 years. An announcement on the criteria that the Agency will be adopting will be made in due course when the comments have been carefully considered. A copy of the consultation letter has also been placed in the Library of the House.
