HC Deb 08 April 1964 vol 692 cc207-8W
59. Mr. D. Foot

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made in carrying out improvements to junctions on the London-Great Yarmouth trunk road A.12 between Ipswich and Martlesham; and when he expects such improvements to be completed.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

The improvement of the Dobbs Lane junction should be finished this month. Negotiations for land required at the Edmonton Road junction are in progress and, all going well, the improvement should be finished this summer. The start of work at the Beech Road junction depends on progress made with land acquisition.

60. Mr. D. Foot

asked the Minister of Transport if he will state the number of accidents and casualties during each of the last five years on the London-Great Yarmouth trunk road between Ipswich and Martlesham.
