§ 21. Mr. Laneasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he expects to announce his decision on the Northern Access Road, Cambridge, following the public inquiry in July 1968.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonShortly, Sir.
§ Mr. LaneWill the right hon. Gentleman try to see that "shortly" is before the end of this month, as I have been promised by his colleague at the Ministry of Transport? So much else depends on this, and it is a controversy which has already lasted so long.
§ Mr. RobinsonI know the need for an early decision. Perhaps I could define "shortly" a little more precisely by saying I hope within 14 days.
