Mrs. Butlerasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how much of the 280-miles length of the A.1 trunk road between London and Newcastle he expects will be a dual carriageway by the end of 1959.
§ Mr. WatkinsonI expect that about 70 miles of dual carriageway will be open to traffic by the end of 1959, and that a further 70 miles will then be under construction.
