§ 78. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made with the preparations for the trunk road improvement scheme from London Road to Milehouse Lane in Newcastle-under-Lyme; and if he is now in a position to fix a date for starting this scheme.
§ Mr. NugentThe agent authority, the Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, has completed its proposals for the side road Orders except in two cases which it is considering further with the local planning authority and the Divisional Road Engineer. This trunk road improvement scheme is bound up with the town planning problems of the Borough and I am not yet able to give a date for its authorisation.
