§ Mr. Andrew Turner
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport for what reason the Isle of Wight was excluded from the terms of reference of the south coast corridor multi-modal study. [76745]

§ Mr. Jamieson
While not included in the study corridor identified in the 1998 White Paper "A New Deal for Trunk Roads in England" the Isle of Wight was included in the area of influence agreed by the study Steering Group for the south coast multi-modal study. Throughout the study steps were taken to ensure consultation with the wider reference group, this included representatives from the Isle of Wight.
