HC Deb 29 April 1964 vol 694 c63W
57. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Transport how many miles of four-lane and six-lane motorways, respectively, are in use in Yorkshire; and what additional mileage will be built by the year 1970.

Mr. Galbraith

15½ miles of four-lane motorway are open to traffic in Yorkshire. Subject to there being no exceptional unforeseen difficulties I expect a further 7½ miles of four-lane and 48 miles of six-lane motorway to be in use by 1970.

58. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Transport how many miles of motorways were completed in 1963; and what is the estimated mileage for 1964.

Mr. Galbraith

93½ and 15½ miles respectively. Of the latter, 8 miles of M.1 between Lutterworth and Whetstone will not be opened until 1965 when the whole of the length between Lutterworth and Markfield will open.
