HC Deb 24 March 1970 vol 798 c321W
37 and 40. Mr. Wallace

asked the Minister of Transport (1) if he is aware of the lack of both east-west and north-south road communications in East Anglia; and what plans exist to meet this need;

(2) what steps he is taking to meet the need for an adequate road connecting the Eastern counties ports and the Midlands.

Mr. Mulley

A large number of improvements are under construction or at an advanced stage of preparation on the A47, A17, A45, Al2 and M11. A number of strategy routes for comprehensive improvement serving the ports in the eastern counties and giving access from the south to east Norfolk and southeast Suffolk are under consideration.
