HC Deb 12 June 2002 vol 386 cc1261-2W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will list the major transport investment projects that have been given final go-ahead by his Department since 7 June 2001. [59359]

Mr. Jamieson

I have been asked to reply.

The following projects were fully accepted in the period: Heathrow Airport Terminal Five Extensions to the Heathrow Express and the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow Airport Terminal Five Oldham Retaining Walls A689 Sedgefield to Wynyard improvements (Durham) Barnsley Coalfields Link Road Phases 2 and 3 A2 Bean-Cobham Widening Phase 1.

24 major local transport schemes have been provisionally accepted, conditional on statutory procedures which are essential to the scheme, or where the scheme is dependent on a contribution from a third party.

Four schemes have been added to the targeted programme of improvements—these are still subject to statutory procedures.
