A3 TUNNEL HINDHEAD

Early day motion 472, tabled 11 January 2005 by Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 6 members.

That this House views with alarm the possibility of a further two to three year delay to the plans to improve the A3 at Hindhead; urges the Secretary of State to ensure that the Highways Agency is well aware of the damage to the economy, not only of Portsmouth and South Hampshire, but the rest of the UK as access to a major ferry port is affected while the current situation exists; and urges the Secretary of State to advise the Highways Agency that it must programme the works to start as soon as the Inspector makes his report, at the conclusion of the public inquiry.

Signatures by party: Labour 3, Liberal Democrat 3.
