§ Mr. Lawrenceasked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects the improvements on the Stoke-Derby road to be completed.
§ Mrs. ChalkerIt is too early to forecast with certainty. The planned improvements to the route comprise five individual schemes, one of which— Blythe Bridge to Uttoxeter— is under construction; one more is in our main programme for start in the period between April 1985 and March 1987 with the remaining three in the programme for start in the period from April 1987 onwards.
