HC Deb 28 October 2002 vol 391 c589W
Mr. Yeo

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he will publish his response to the consultation process on the London to Ipswich Multi-Modal Study. [77680]

Mr. Jamieson

The London to Ipswich Multi-Modal Study, as with all Multi-Modal Studies, has undertaken consultation exercises at various stages to ensure that the views of local public, businesses, environmental interests, transport users, operators and other regional interests are taken into account. The final report is due by the end of November 2002 and will include a section relating to communication and consultation undertaken as part of this study. We will announce our response to the Study after receiving views on it from the East of England Local Government Conference (RPB).

Mr. Yeo

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what recent representations he has received about upgrading the A12 between London and Ipswich. [77681]

Mr. Jamieson

I have received no recent representations about upgrading the A12 between London and Ipswich. However, transport issues in this corridor are being studied in the London to Ipswich (LOIS) multi-modal study. The study final report will be published by the end of November 2002 and will set out proposals for improvements for all modes of transport in the A12 corridor.
