Question

Whether the Highways Agency has judged that the bored tunnel endorsed in 1994 by English Heritage and the National Trust as "the only feasible ... route ... which meets the essential requirements of this (Stonehenge) World Heritage Site" would provide no significant environmental benefits beyond those provided by the two-kilometre cut-and-cover tunnel; and, if so, on what grounds they based this judgment. [HL 3294].
