To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the proposed Oxford and Cambridge expressway, what is the plan for the A34 north of Chieveley.
As the Minister of State for Transport, the Rt Hon John Hayes CBE MP, alluded to previously in the A34 Safety Westminster Hall Debate on the 26th October 2016, the stage 3 study report for the Oxford to Cambridge expressway was published on 28 November 2016. This study informs current discussions on the future of the A34.

These strategies will be published in Spring 2017 and will highlight current route issues as well as challenges for the future. This will inform future infrastructure improvement bids. The current Road Investment Strategy announced two schemes on this section of the A34- Technology enhancements between the M4 and M40 and improvements to the Peartree and Botley interchanges. Highways England is working on options for these schemes.

The updated strategies will be published in spring 2017.

My Lords, I declare an interest in that my new musical is about Stephen Ward and I am presenting a documentary on him for ITV. Is the Minister aware—this is what concerns me—that the fact that these files will be closed for a staggering 83 years gives rise to an awful lot of unhealthy speculation about who the individuals might be within the files?

My Lords, we have not yet decided whether they will remain closed for 83 years. It is fairly clear who all the individuals in the files are: they are those who were interviewed by Lord Denning.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to link the A339 to the A34.[HL5709]

The Department for Transport has no current plans to provide further additional links between the A34 and A339.
My Lords, the Chinese seem to be taking a different attitude to all areas of the arts. They realise how important the creative industries potentially are to their economy. In everything from applied arts to music to drama, they are actively seeking our teachers as well as sending students to us here to learn. It is vital that the Government take on board that the creative industries are important to our economy and that we must recognise that within education.

I very much agree with my noble friend about how important the creative industries are from an economic point of view. He makes his point with a great deal of experience and force. However, the case for the arts in our curriculum should not rest solely on the economic benefit that they bring—although that is considerable—but on the fact that they have merit and value in themselves, and young people should have the chance to learn about them because that is part of a rich and broad education.
