HC Deb 28 July 1971 vol 822 c101W
65. Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is aware that his reference to a feasibility study into a proposed M1-M11 link to pass south of Bishop's Stortford has caused concern in that town by reason of its possible implications in respect of the construction of the Bishop's Stortford East-West by-pass; and if he will confirm the construction of the East-West by-pass and announce a firm timetable in respect of it.

Mr. Graham Page

As I told my right Friend on 16th June, I am examining the county council's proposals for programming the principal road comprising the western sector of the by-pass. This examination must clearly take account of the recently announced feasibility study into a new link between the M1 and the M11.—[Vol. 819, c.88.]
