HC Deb 15 May 1963 vol 677 c151W
43. Sir B. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will make a statement on the present position of the Leicestershire portion of the Leicester-Yorkshire motorway; and when arrangements for providing all the necessary roads leading into that portion will be completed.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

Twenty-six miles of this motorway are now under construction. Work is about to start on the bridgeworks at the River Trent crossing. Tenders are being considered for the remaining 12½ miles of roadworks in Leicestershire.

Necessary improvements to feeder roads are under way or in course of preparation. Except for the improvement of a section of Norborough Road South. these should be completed by the time the motorway is.
