Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sustainable Local Transport.


Sustainable Local Transport

I do not think local transport authorities will have powers over the Highways Agency. I do not think that there is any superiority issue with the Highways Agency or the local transport authority. We would expect them to consult each other, particularly when the local transport authority is reclassifying a road. Sometimes it may be considering reclassifying a road that is nowhere near a Highways Agency road, and I am not sure that it has to consult the Highways Agency. Clearly, when it could affect a Highways Agency route—routes on the strategic road network—I am sure it would consult. Sitting suspended.
