The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential economic impact of the M5 Junction 9 and A46 (Ashchurch) Transport Scheme.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The M5 Junction 9 and A46 (Ashchurch) scheme is currently under review as part of the Major Road Network and Large Local Majors programme. A decision on the future of the scheme will be announced by early summer. Until such time, it would not be appropriate to comment on specific schemes.
