§ 55. Mr. Holtasked the Minister of Transport what recommendations have been made by the consulting engineers whom he appointed early in 1959 to make a survey of possible alternative routes for a motorway between Lancaster and Penrith; if he will now announce a line for a draft scheme; and if he will set out the reasons for his choice of route.
§ Mr. HayWe have not yet received the consulting engineers' report. It was originally expected last autumn, but more time was needed to complete a full investigation of all possible alternative routes through this difficult area. We expect to receive the report shortly and we shall publish our proposals when it has been considered.
