HC Deb 16 December 1953 vol 522 c67W
115. Mr. Short

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will amend his programme of major road improvements to include the Tyne tunnel.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Although the Tyne tunnel scheme cannot be begun in the next three years, it is certainly not excluded from the programme, but is among the important schemes that I intend to fit in subsequently as soon as practicable.
