HC Deb 08 March 1967 vol 742 cc275-6W
122. Mr. Ellis

asked the Minister of Transport if she will re-examine the plans to extend the M5 from Cribbs Causeway to Avonmouth with a view to completing the work before 1970.

Mr. Swingler

Under a contract which has recently been let, work on this section of the M5 will start next month and should be completed in December, 1969. For engineering reasons this period cannot be reduced.
