The Littlehampton Gazette reports (from Hansard, presumably):

[Transport Secretary Patrick] McLoughlin assured East Worthing and Shoreham MP Tim Loughton that dualling through Worthing was a possibility. Mr Loughton said: “There will be dancing in the streets of Lancing, Sompting and Worthing this evening, not least amid the static traffic on the A27 itself. For the avoidance of doubt, will he (Mr McLoughlin) confirm that the option of full dualling through Worthing, the largest town in Sussex, is very much on the table as part of his announcement?”

The Transport Secretary replied: “I do not encourage anybody to dance on the roads. On the point about dualling the area, that is certainly on the table. It is for local people to show their enthusiasm for such a scheme, so that we can move it forward.”
