HC Deb 08 November 1954 vol 532 c106W
78. Mr. P. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware that, in both County Durham and in Northumberland, there is land available for the completion of a dual carriageway for the Great North Road; and when he expects this work to be begun.

Mr. Molson

Dual carriageways are proposed on only two lengths of the existing Great North Road in Northumberland and County Durham. On both these lengths land is available or is being acquired. We hope it may be possible to fit the work into an early year of the programme, but I cannot at present be more precise.
