§ Mr. Bishopasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take action to speed up his decision to define the route of the A46 through Newark in view of the delay likely to be caused to the local authorities and others with regard to town planning proposals which will be delayed until his decision is known.
§ Mr. SpeedInvestigations are proceeding as quickly as possible. I hope that alternative routes can be published for comment by the public early next year.
