asked the Minister for the Environment if he proposes to reclassify public roads.
Written Answers. - Road Reclassification.
56.
The present national road system, primary and secondary, is now generally regarded as established, having been formally declared in 1977, following a long process of evaluation and consultation. Marginal changes only may be appropriate for the foreseeable future. A reclassification of the most important of the non-national roads into a new system of regional roads was carried out in a preliminary way by my Department in 1981 and the question of putting this on a more formal basis is being considered.
