§ 98. Sir F. Markhamasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how far agreement has been reached on the line of the new London-Birmingham motor way; and when accurate maps of the proposed route will be made available for inspection at local authority offices.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI assume my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind the first section of the London-Yorkshire motor road, which is to have connection with Birmingham. A provisional line has been fixed in consultation with various interests concerned, including local highway and planning authorities whose final comments on it are now awaited. I shall then have to publish a draft scheme under the Special Roads Act, 1949, which will include maps available for inspection by the public. I hope to do this by the end of the summer.
