HC Deb 06 March 1963 vol 673 cc44-5W
61. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Transport what was the number of miles of motorways in this country at the latest available date; and what additional length is scheduled to be built for the year 1973.

Mr. Hay

199 miles of motorway are now in use; subject to the satisfactory completion of statutory processes and the availability of funds, we hope to complete a further 800 miles by the early 1970s.
