HC Deb 17 June 1964 vol 696 c185W
Mr. Matthews

asked the Minister of Transport what plans he has for the improvement of the A.5 trunk road between London and Fazeley; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Marples

The construction of the M.1 has relieved the parallel section of the A.5 of much of its through traffic. The linking of the M.6 to the M.1 in the early 1970's will relieve the remaining section. Future improvement of the A.5 will be related to the residual traffic. I will write to my hon. Friend giving details of proposed improvements.
