HC Deb 22 December 1937 vol 330 c1999W
Colonel Brown

asked the Minister of Transport when work on the Newcastle-Carlisle trunk road will be started in the vicinity of Haltwhistle?

Mr. Burgin

I have made an Order declaring the proposed diversion at Halt-whistle to be a trunk road. Work will be put in hand as soon as the necessary preliminaries, including the acquisition of the land required, have been completed.
