answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Following the meeting with my honourable Friend last year, I asked the Highways Agency to look into the case for and against reclassifying the A5 between the M54 and Shrewsbury as a motorway. The Agency has indicated that work to quantify costs associated with such a reclassification is almost complete but that identifying and evaluating the resulting benefits is proving more problematic. Further assessment will be necessary before a robust cost/benefit analysis can be completed. I have asked the Agency to liaise with my honourable Friend as this matter progresses.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 25/06/2014 11:23:55 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
