Dept of Transport

Question: If he will list the reasons for the delay in the construction of the A500 Shavington By-Pass.

Answer: Mrs. Dunwoody: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the reasons for the delay in the construction of the A500 Shavington bypass. [21507] Mr. Watts: The A500 Basford-Hough-Shavington bypass is one of many schemes in the national road programme competing for funds. We are taking schemes forward to construction on the basis of economic benefit, environmental impact, route importance and importance for regeneration. The timing of construction of the A500 scheme will be determined by these factors.
