Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mr. Tim Devlin, dated 3 February 1995:
I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the concrete overlay surface between junctions 5 and 6 of the M18.A number of trial concrete surfacings were constructed as part of the concrete overlay section of the M18.The preliminary assessment being undertaken by the Transport Research Laboratory is giving encouraging results. A Report on the full assessment is due to be published later this year.
