HC Deb 23 December 1929 vol 233 cc1942-3W
Sir D. NEWTON

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the congestion on the Great North Road, A 1, on the narrow sections south of Stevenage and to Baldock; and when it is proposed to complete the widening of this road, which was commenced many months ago?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

A proposal for the widening of this section of the Great North Road has been approved in principle. My hon. Friend is advised that the Hertfordshire County Council are preparing the details of the scheme. The necessary land has already been acquired, and it is anticipated that the work will be commenced early in the new year.
