HC Deb 22 May 1963 vol 678 cc46-7W
82. Sir D. Kaberry

asked the Minister of Transport what proposals be has, or have been submitted to him, to widen and reconstruct within the next five years the A.65 trunk road from Leeds to Ilkley via the Guiseley-Horsforth and Kirkstall road, and especially that portion of the road within the Leeds County Borough boundary.

Mr. Marples

The 12½ miles section of the A.65 between Leeds and Burley-in-Wharfedale is a classified Class I road. I have received no proposals for its improvement within the next five years from the Leeds City Council or the West Riding County Council, who are the responsible highway authorities. I have no plans at present for any major improvement of the 3½ miles trunk road section between Burley-in-Wharfedale and Ilkley for which I am responsible.
