§ Mr. Jegerasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the importance of completing the east-west route to the east coast, he will find a place in his programme to extend M.62 from its proposed terminus on the A.1 through to Hull.
§ Mr. MarplesI have no plans at present for extending the proposed Lancashire-Yorkshire motorway to Hull. The existing all-purpose road system linking Hull with the A.1 is being progressively improved to a very high standard with dual carriageways. This should be adequate for the expected traffic in the foreseeable future.
