Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an estimate of the potential impact avoiding compulsory purchase of properties for the building of the North West Relief Road on the cost of building that Road.

The governance of a local road scheme such as the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road, including considering any potential impact of compulsory purchase of properties for that road scheme, is overseen by the local authority, in this case, Shropshire Council. This would therefore be a matter for them.
