HC Deb 22 November 1961 vol 649 c131W
53. Mr. A. Roberts

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made in the preparatory work to enable an early start in 1964 on the construction of the Sheffield-Leeds motorway.

Mr. Hay

We are considering the objections received to the draft Scheme for this Motorway. They include a statutory objection lodged by Sheffield City Council. I am not therefore in a position to make forecasts about future progress at present.
