§ 85 and 86. Mr. Holtasked the Minister of Transport (1) what steps he is now taking with regard to putting in hand the preliminary legal survey work for new motorways in Lancashire in order that construction and expenditure can be undertaken at a higher level each year for the next few years;
(2) what new motorways he proposes to start to construct in Lancashire in the years 1963–64, 1964–65, 1965–66, 1966–67 and 1967–68, respectively.
§ Mr. MarplesIf preparation goes according to schedule, I hope to start work on the motorway from Lancaster to Penrith in 1966–67. The line for the Lancashire-Yorkshire motorway is now being investigated. Other proposals for motorways in Lancashire are unlikely to be realised during the next few years.
