HC Deb 25 July 1962 vol 663 c150W
60. Mr. Lee

asked the Minister of Transport what proposals he now has to link Liverpool and Manchester by a motorway to replace the existing A580.

Mr. Marples

Suggestions for a possible motorway routes between Liverpool and Manchester have been made by the Lancashire County Council and a traffic survey was recently made. It is too soon to forecast what proposals may result from these preliminary studies. In the meantime a programme of junction improvements on the A.580 is being carried out.
