Volume 456: debated on Tuesday 6 February 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans his officials have to meet (a) Opportunity Peterborough, (b) East of England Development Agency and (c) Peterborough city council to discuss future transport infrastructure in the Greater Peterborough area; and if he will make a statement. (118517)

[holding answer 5 February 2007]: No meetings are planned between Department for Transport officials and the three named organisations specifically or solely to discuss future transport infrastructure in the Greater Peterborough area. Dialogue takes place routinely and regularly with these bodies on a range of transport and development topics, generally through or involving the Government Office for the East of England. Officials from GO East will be meeting those of Peterborough city council on 12 February to discuss the local transport settlement announced in December 2006 and the accompanying assessments of the authority's second local transport plan and delivery report.
