§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the fact that the motorway route linking the M.6 and M.1 will have an access point within three miles of Elmdon airport, which is of importance to the development of air traffic in the Midlands, if he will expedite 277W plans for completion of this access, at present scheduled for 1971.
§ Mr. Tom FraserOn present plans, construction of the Midland Link Motorways will be completed in 1970–71. Since further detailed design and statutory processes have to be carried out and land acquired, any earlier date would be unrealistic.
The intervening trunk roads between the motorway and Elmdon airport, have been largely improved to dual carriageway standard and the remaining length, including a flyover at Denbigh Corner (A.446/A.452) is under construction.
