M11 (Hansard, 1 November 1990)

§ Mr. Robert Banks
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement about the proposal for an extension of the M11 through Lincolnshire to Yorkshire with particular regard to the involvement of the private sector.

§ Mr. Chope
The extension of the Mil is a proposal by a group of local authorities in eastern England. I understand they have appointed consultants to study their proposals. The local authorities are sharing the cost of the study, with contributions from the private sector and grant from the EC. The study is due to report early in 1991.
