Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the causes of the delay in joining up M6 with M1; and whether he can now give an assurance that it will be opened before the end of January, 1972.

Mr. Graham Page

The need for appraisals and safety checks on steel box girder bridges on the length between Great Barr and Castle Bromwich. This final section will be opened as soon as possible, but it is unlikely before the end of January.
