Answer: Ms Lawrence: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the results of the study which he undertook on dualling the A40 to St. Clears; and if he will place a copy of the study in the Library. [85661] Mr. Hain: [holding answer 8 June 1999]: Copies of the report have been placed in the Library of the House. The results of the study indicate that although there would be significant benefits to be gained from investments in public transport options, there would still remain the need to provide good road infrastructure. It will now be for the Assembly to decide what resources to devote to new trunk road schemes and to what standards they should be built.
