HC Deb 27 January 1971 vol 810 c127W
87. Mr. George Grant

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is yet able to announce a starting date for Stage 5 of the Northumberland Spine Road, namely, Bedlington Station to Ellington.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

This scheme is still subject to agreement on the principal road pattern of the area and to the satisfactory completion of the necessary statutory procedures. It is too early to announce a starting date.
