Road Schemes

When we will be given some indication of when we will know about the priorities that my hon. Friend mentioned? In the previous round, the big city regions grabbed the funding and had their paws on the major part of it. Sub-regional priorities were way down the list. The Ormskirk bypass, for example, was in the third quartile. Everyone acknowledges that the process is subjective and that the project ought to have been much higher up the list. If my hon. Friend is saying that there will be a cut-off or an amount of money set aside, when will we be given an indication of when that might happen?
