HC Deb 31 July 1957 vol 574 c190W
Mr. E. Johnson

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what is his estimate of the cost of his plans for improving road A.5 between St. Albans and the junction between A.5 and A.38; and by what date he anticipates these plans will have been carried out.

Mr. Watkinson

I hope to start the construction of the London-Birmingham motorway this year. This should relieve A.5 of much of its traffic. I am planning to widen A.5 progressively beyond Rugby as funds permit and also to improve it between Rugby and London.
