HC Deb 29 May 1957 vol 571 c379
3. Mr. A. Roberts

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made to provide a motor road feeder from the West Riding to the Great North Road.

The Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation (Mr. Harold Watkinson)

The provisional line of the road is included in the county development plan and is, by this means, protected from other forms of development.

Mr. Roberts

Does the Minister realise that the West Riding is one of the largest industrial areas in the country and that it is receiving very scant attention indeed? Does he propose at least to put something concrete before the West Riding County Council in the very near future?

Mr. Watkinson

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will await the answer to his next Question.
