answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/10/2019 answer text <p>The timing of ministerial decisions on funding, or not, for any particular road scheme depends on a range of factors. With significant funding involved, a key factor will be the assessment of value for money, but also how complex the scheme is and our confidence in it being delivered. It is not possible to give an average length of time for this process since business cases are submitted at different stages of development; some are highly advanced and others are still in their infancy.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 01/10/2019 16:02:04 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
