THE EARL OF HARROWBYasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will give some indication as to the proposed route, in tentative form, for the new motorway between Birmingham and Oxford; and at what points "feeder" roads are proposed; and whereabouts on the M.6 is the junction proposed; also what are the approximate dates expected for publication of these various steps, including final completion.
§ LORD SANDFORDMy right honourable friend the Secretary of State for the Environment is not yet in a position to make a statement about a possible new route between Oxford and Birmingham, but he hopes to be able to do so before long.
