§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Transport when work started on the preliminary report on the All between Newmarket and Cringleford; for how long it has been under way; when he expects to receive it; and if he will take steps to accelerate official consideration of the accident record in that section of the route through Red Lodge and Freckenham.
§ Mr. William RodgersA scheme for the improvement of the All between Newmarket and Cringleford was accepted into the trunk road preparation pool in June 1971. The preliminary report for the Attleborough bypass is expected to be completed shortly. Traffic and economic evaluations of the remainder of the route are continuing, and accident figures are among the factors being taken into account. It is too early to forecast when the preliminary report on the improvement of this part of the route will be completed.
