HC Deb 18 July 1962 vol 663 cc63-4W
Sir L. Ropner

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now give favourable consideration to the addition to his programme of a motorway link from Leeds northwards to the A.1.

Mr. Marples

Traffic from Leeds northwards to the A.1 goes by way of the A.58 trunk road. This is to be improved when a place can be found for it in the road programme. I have no evidence that a motorway would be justified on foreseeable traffic volumes along this route.
