§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Minister of Transport if, during her forthcoming visit to the Midlands, she will include a visit to Wolverhampton, as previously proposed by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, North-East, in order to see for herself the congestion and traffic 217W conditions caused by the delay in completing the motorway link.
§ Mrs. CastleI am fully aware of conditions in Wolverhampton and we are doing all we can to ease the situation pending completion of the motorway link, which is proceeding as fast as possible. In view of this and of the heavy pressures on my time, I regret that I must decline my hon. Friend's invitation.
