answer text: On 19 March 2013 the Secretary of State for Transport, my right hon. Friend the Member for Derbyshire Dales (Mr McLoughlin), made an order under the Planning Act 2008 granting Lancashire County Council development consent for completion of the M6 to Heysham Link Road. On 29 April, ‘Transport Solutions for Lancaster and Morecambe’ applied to the High Court for permission to proceed with a claim for judicial review and asked the Court to quash the order on the grounds that the Secretary of State had acted unlawfully. The Secretary of State is defending the claim. If the High Court upholds the decision to make the order, it would then be for the County Council, as promoter of the scheme, in conjunction with the relevant district councils and local business groups, to secure maximum economic benefit from its construction and operation.
