HC Deb 03 February 1965 vol 705 cc290-1W
Mr. Albert Roberts

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now confirm the compulsory purchase order on the Aston Tinsley length of the M.1, and the draft compulsory purchase orders to be published on the Meadowhall section of the M.1.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. These orders cannot be made until the statutory procedure for considering objections to the draft orders has been completed. They may then be made with or without modifications. In the case of the Aston-Tinsley length of M.1, I am considering the report of the inspector who held an inquiry and hope to announce my decision shortly. A draft Order covering one section of the Meadowhall length will be published on 12th February. The draft orders for the remaining sections cannot be published until final details of the land required are determined.

Mr. Albert Roberts

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now confirm the Section 13 orders on the Wakefield Meadowhall section of the M.1.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. There were a number of objections to the draft Order and I am now considering them. This will necessarily take some time.
