HC Deb 10 March 1976 vol 907 cc223-4W
Mr. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the projected date now for the announcement of his choice of route for the proposed Kirkhamgate to Dishforth motorway.

Mr. Marks

My right hon. Friend hopes to make an announcement in the summer.

Mr. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he can now give a date for the publication of the 1973 traffic census referred to in the consultation document for the proposed Kirkhamgate to Dishforth motorway route; and whether he is satisfied with the speed with which this report is being compiled.

Mr. Marks

When the announcement is made about the choice of the preferred route, a table with the latest traffic figures will be published in place of that given in the consultation document last year. The analysis of the 1973 traffic survey is proceeding as quickly as possible.

Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of Slate for the Environment if he will now make a statement on the proposed Kirkhamgate-Dishforth route.

Mr. Marks

I have nothing to add to my reply to the hon. Member for Pudsey (Mr. Shaw) on 27th February 1976. —[Vol. 906, c. 366–7.]
