Yes, long winded it may be, but the debate in Westminster Hall today, which was called by one Alex Burghart MP for Ongar, who was seeking assurances that in his considered opinion, the archaeology of inter alia Blick Mead, would not be damaged in the efforts to upgrade the A303 past Stonehenge. It is most unusual for an MP to call a debate "out of area", and as a minister our own johnglen.org.uk John Glen MP although in attendance in the chamber during said debate, was not allowed to take part. Having said that, he had obviously briefed a colleague who was allowed to get up and so, there seemed to be some sort of balance. In my opinion, Alex Burghart in calling this debate, had been given misleading information by our friends at Stonehenge Alliance and their cronies, and all of the detail had already been covered within the recent consultation from Highways England. I leave you to find out how the debate ended.......I did wonder however, who the "Scientific Committee for the A303 at Stonehenge" were...so here they are and supposed to be independent. http://a303scientificcommittee.org.uk/ 'fraid that didn't come across in the debate from Mr Burghart, but then he has been fed a line as previously mentioned.
