HC Deb 29 November 1961 vol 650 c69W
116. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Transport what progress he has made with the Chequers roundabout improvements on the A.13.

Mr. Marples

These works form part of a large scheme for the improvement of this section of A.13. In an endeavour to avoid delay it was proposed that the Chequers Corner improvement should be undertaken as a separate contract. My agent authority have, however, so much work in hand on the preparation of road schemes that to prepare separate contract documents would not in fact save time. These works will therefore remain part of the larger scheme. I hope the documents will be ready in time for tenders to be invited in the spring.
