HC Deb 09 February 1966 vol 724 c67W
73. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport whether the survey of the routes for the proposed Humberside road improvements has now commenced; and when maps of the new routes will be available.

Mrs. Castle

I propose that the new trunk road network for Humberside should be constructed as motorway. I will publish draft schemes under Section 11 of the Highways Act, 1959, for the whole network as soon as possible. A start on the necessary detailed survey work has been made but this cannot go ahead for the proposed east-west route pending a decision on the draft scheme for the final section of M.62 to which objections have been lodged.
